When Moms Teach Us about Gratitude
When Moms Teach Us about Gratitude
Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with some instant inspiration for you from Chicken Soup for the Soul. Today I want to talk about one of my favorite topics, and that is how much we learn from our mothers. Often they help us understand how to count our blessings, which sets us up for much better lives because you really do need to know how to use the power of gratitude if you want to be happy. I’m sharing two stories with you today in which girls learned a lot about gratitude from their moms, including at that the time of year when that is sometimes most relevant, Christmastime. Both these stories are from our new book Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Magic of Moms.
