View the announcement for this #SocialCafe Chat..
Today we have a guest who has so much to share. We know it won’t fit in just one Twitter Chat, but we will do our best.
I am very much so encouraged by what she tweets every single day and I know you will be, too!
Our topic is gratitude so let’s take the time to learn by what the lady shares and guides us, as well as by what we share with each other, shall we?

I pause to notice and appreciate the things that we often take for granted#SocialCafe https://t.co/Hga6STMTo0 pic.twitter.com/n0aG3yMMWs
- What do you have to be thankful for this year, in 2022? What do you have to be thankful for, in general?
It looks like we all have something to be thankful for and it is fun to read each others’ tweets on this...
I am grateful to be back to seeing people again...I missed my clients! #SocialCafe A2

100% focused on #SmallJoys. Simple things that make us happy that we should be grateful for all the time. A2 #Gratitude #SocialCafe

- What do you think it means to live a life that incorporates adopting an attitude of gratitude? What does it mean to you?
I love our featured guest’s answer to this, with the less judgement - isn’t that great?
Living with an attitude of gratitude means less judgment...more appreciation of others! #SocialCafe A3
— Deborah Thomas (@DTNEtiquette) November 16, 2022
A3 I think it means to be aware of being thankful. It also means being positive and seeing that cup half full instead of half empty so you can be thankful for that glass of cool water! #SocialCafe #Gratitude

- Do you think it is helpful to adopt an attitude of gratitude all the time, or as a way of living life? Why or why not?
It seems to be a consensus that we live a life of gratitute. And, David Crysler even offers up a suggested resource to help with that and other aspects of a positive life. Thank you, David!
I think it is very helpful to adopt an attitude of gratitude as a way of living life to its fullest! #SocialCafe A4
— Deborah Thomas (@DTNEtiquette) November 16, 2022
A4. Yes. We can all find something in our lives to be grateful for and that others may be unable to say the same of. I’d highly recommend @garyvee’s book @12andahalfbook if you’re looking for a great resource on gratitude and other emotional intelligence ingredients! #SocialCafe https://t.co/hJVubDlIJ9

- What are some creative things we can do to help improve our attitude of gratitude? How can we see that in daily living?
Great advice from Deborah Thomas, our featured guest (expert) - practice mindfulness... yes!
Practicing mindfulness helps with gratitude...you won't miss the little things for which to be grateful - I promise! #SocialCafe A5
— Deborah Thomas (@DTNEtiquette) November 16, 2022
A5 Possibly things like... 1) sticky notes on the edge of a computer screen; 2) writing it on a whiteboard; 3) writing it in lipstick on your bathroom mirror (if you spouse doesn’t mind)... yes, there is a theme here LOL #SocialCafe #Gratitude

One key suggestion that permeated the discussion is the aspect of staying focused, with patience, and practice...
We are often moving so fast that we miss key moments to show our gratitude...am I right? ~ #SocialCafe A7 pic.twitter.com/3iIjtYYXgd
