Happy Thanksgiving. I hope as you are listening to this, you are spending time with people you love

and taking an extra moment to be grateful. Today, we're talking about being thankful and the little

daily routine I do with my kids that has them focus on what they are thankful for every day,

not just on Thanksgiving. We're also going to take it a step further. We're talking about

positivity and happiness and the choices you make and how you choose to interpret the things that

happen to you. Happiness is a choice and taking a moment each day to be thankful is a huge part of

this. Join me today as we pause for a second to think about all that we have to be thankful for

and happy about let's go you're listening to the how to be awesome at everything podcast

where we're obsessed with life hacks that make your life more awesome your host lindsay

dickhout is an entrepreneur and business owner a and wife, and someone who wants to do things

over the top at all times. This concept started as a collection of things Lindsay has learned

that she was documenting to give to her kids one day. And now it's a podcast. Join us on this journey

where we talk about how to be awesome at everything we do. Here's Lindsay. Most nights at the dinner table,

we do what my kids call a gratitude circle. Whoever calls it first starts and we go around saying

something we are grateful for. Sometimes it's something simple or silly like, I'm grateful it was Noah's

birthday at school today because we got donut holes or something deeper like, I'm grateful it was Noah's birthday at school today because we got donut holes,

or something deeper like, I'm grateful that we have a nice house to keep us warm since it's raining

outside. Those are obviously the kids' examples, but you get the point. It's a really sweet little

tradition. It's quick. It doesn't take a long time, and we don't do it every single night,

so it never feels forced. Just when someone calls it, we go around the table, and it's cool. It's often a great

conversation starter and a little insight into everyone's day or a week or how they're feeling.

For me, being thankful and being happy and positive are all intertwined.
