Lest you one day forget, as I am certain to, I want to record a few of my favorite fatherly sayings:

“Change your attitude to one of gratitude.”

“There are two ways to handle a situation: The calm way, and the wrong way.”

“The first and last thing you should do each day is to give thanks.”

Today, these comments are typically regarded with an eye roll. Likely because I don’t always model the advice myself. That said, I do repeat them frequently, and what I’ve found is that the more often I do, the more often I succeed in practicing what I preach.
