Having a spirit of thankfulness

Even with all the trouble in our economy we have so much to be thankful for in this country. We are a blessed (but spoiled) nation. My kids seem to get into a rut of wanting more. Where on earth did they learn that? My goal is for us to count our blessings over the next month on a daily basis. We have our wall of gratitude but I'm going to try to say it "out loud" each day. I think we (as in my family) need to learn to be more appreciative of what we have and say so! Instead of gimme gimme gimme we're going to try some thank you thank you thank you!!
