Government Info Pro Spotlight: Making
Time for Gratitude by Marie Kaddell
• A Practical Guide to Gratitude (so you can see and think differently) –
http://www.unstuck.com/gratitude.html
• Here’s 3 ideas from the their list of 9 ways to cultivate gratitude:
• Vow to have a positive attitude for 10 days (no complaining, criticizing,
whining)
• Having a bad day? Ask yourself what you can learn from the difficult situation.
• Humility is key to gratitude. Read this article on humility:
http://healthland.time.com/2012/04/27/humility-a-quiet-underappreciatedstrength/
• Some people recommend writing down something you’re grateful for every
day.
• Scott Brown, Owner, Social Information Group
(http://www.socialinformationgroup.com/), does a twist on this with his daily
Awesome Thing which he shares with his Facebook friends. Scott was on
awesome thing #328 at last look!
• Gratitude Pause: Maybe we should all consider stopping each day to
consider something awesome we see in our lives.

economy on how these
positions are filled or not filled
– at least in the short term.
• Opportunities will be there–
either through job openings,
through expanding role of
