My 7 yr old & I do 'thank yous' every night to practice gratitude. Sometimes it's for the trees & flowers. Sometimes it's for friends or school or family.

Tonight she said: "I say thank you for me" & we talked about how she really liked herself.

And she said: "You're going to be you mama for a really long time, so you may as well like yourself. Cause it's just gonna be you, you, you your whole life."

And she asked me if I liked myself & I said I did. And she said "good".

@VickiKyriakakis Reading this is the perfect way to start my morning. Thanks to your 7 year old for reminding me to remember that I like me too. That ripple of thought, starting from your kiddo, is going a long way today 😀
