Here's a silly rhyme Mommy brainstormed:
And be thankful that you havehot water to do your dishes -
That you don't have to wash them
in a river full of fishes
and crocodiles and hippos
and bilharzia-carrying snails.
However down and out you are,
an attitude of gratitude never fails...

This is a great idea! I especially like the poem your mommy wrote, Esme. :)
At our Thanksgiving meal, each one of our family gave 5 things they were thankful for. You obviously have a thankful heart.
