I resolved to attach gratitude to each and every complaint. When I caught myself saying, “Getting through airport security was a hassle today,” I would add, “I am thankful to be safely on the plane.” After grumbling, “My son didn’t get to his math homework yet,” I would say, “I am thankful he is so interested in the new book he is reading.” After bemoaning the fact that “I was expecting to have lost more weight this week,” I would add, “I am thankful I am watching my weight and my health.”
