I’m not entirely sure how this game came about but I do know that we’ve been playing it with our daughter for 3 years now. It’s a really very simple bedtime game and it involves saying, “I’m grateful for…”, then finishing with something from your day or your life that you are grateful for.

In our family it has become a part of bedtime routine and is really a part of who we are as a family. The very act of being grateful focuses our minds on what is positive and beautiful in our lives. As this becomes habit, you find yourself looking out for things to be grateful for and maximizing every moment.

We also follow up with an intention, which is our place to make a commitment to an action and hold ourselves accountable to ourselves.

I’m grateful to have this opportunity to celebrate who I am every day and offer this idea to you to see if it works in your life.
