An Attitude of Gratitude

     The other day I was filling up my gas tank with liquid gold.  This cute lady got out of her car in the rainy, windy, weather and came and told me,  that I forgot to put my gas cap back on.   I thought this was so kind.  It would have been so easy for her to just stay in her car and not worry about it, yet she took a minute to do a Little Give.  I was really appreciative to her for her small token of kindness.
     It has really made me think about how important it is to have an attitude of gratitude.  I really want to try to be better at being grateful for the small things that others do for me. There are little acts of kindness given to me each day, and sadly I am more likely to tell you about the rude lady at the grocery store, or the guy that nearly ran me over while I was jogging.  So my goal is to have an attitude of gratitude.  I am going to start focussing more on people's good qualities, and look for The Little Give's that are given to me each day.

"As we express our gratitude, we must 
never forget that the highest appreciation 
is not to utter words, but to live by them."
John F. Kennedy
