Maaaring maging mahirap na lumikha ng mayaman at makabuluhang pag-uusap ng pamilya tungkol sa pasasalamat. Alam kong nadismaya ako nang ang aking “Ano ang iyong pinasasalamatan?” ang mga tanong ay natutugunan ng mabilis, mahuhulaan na mga tugon na magtatapos sa pag-uusap sa lalong madaling panahon matapos itong magsimula. Ngayong panahon ng Thanksgiving, nagsasagawa ako ng ibang paraan sa pamamagitan ng pagbuo ng 20 tanong ng pasasalamat upang makatulong na pasiglahin ang aming pagbabahagi.
Huwag mag-atubiling humiram ng mga ito o gumawa ng iyong sarili. Maaari mo ring kopyahin ang mga tanong sa maliliit na piraso ng papel at anyayahan ang mga miyembro ng pamilya na pumili ng isa para sagutin ng lahat.
Nawa'y makatulong ang mga tanong na ito na pukawin ang diwa ng Thanksgiving!
1) Anong guro ang pinakapinasasalamatan mo at bakit? Ano ang natutunan mo sa kanya?
2) Ano ang season na pinakapinasasalamatan mo, at ano ang paborito mong bahagi ng bawat season?
3) Anong elektronikong aparato ang lubos mong pinasasalamatan, at ano ang naidaragdag nito sa iyong buhay?
4) Anong musikero o uri ng musika ang pinakapinasasalamatan mo?
5) Ano ang lubos mong ipinagpapasalamat na nagdudulot ng kagandahan sa iyong pang-araw-araw na buhay?
6) Anong uri ng ehersisyo o pisikal na aktibidad ang pinakapinapasalamatan mo?
7) Anong mga pagkain ang pinakapinasasalamatan mo?
8) Anong lokal na tindahan o restawran ang pinakapinasasalamatan mo? Paano ito nakakatulong sa iyong kalidad ng buhay?
9) Anong aklat ang pinakapinasasalamatan mo, at bakit?
10) Anong gawa ng kabaitan ang nakagawa ng pinakamalaking pagbabago sa iyong buhay?

13) Anong lugar ang sa tingin mo ay lubos na nagpapasalamat at bakit?
14) Magsabi ng tatlong araw sa iyong buhay na lalo mong pinasasalamatan.

16) Mayroon bang personal na limitasyon o kapintasan na napagtanto mo?

[Hide Full Comment]We need to remember that all of us are mult-faceted people. Each facet needs a different facet of our environment to engage with so it may blossom.

THESE ARE EYE OPENERS WHO THINK EVERY THING IN THEIR LIFE HAPPENED ONLY BECAUSE OF THEM. I STRONGLY BELIEVE FOR THE SUCCESS OF EACH ONES LIFE THERE ARE CONTRIBUTION OF SO MANY ... I REALLY REMEMBER THEM WHEN I READ THE ABOVE ... THANKS
One of the highest reasons of a nation,a person was being graced before The universal authority[god],is not the intelligence nor good conducts. But simply being highly gratitude for every single good thing one could ever rejoiced.Realizing it, annouce it, and teaching it to others. Unfortunately, very few could realize how importance this is. more over, we easily identify individuals of such sense, such quality; but they don't know the correct way of expressing it.
I love this idea we do the tradition "what are you thankful for" .. but you cabn bet i will be upping the gratitude meter next year (i am in canada ,so ours is past for this year) thank you so much for this idea :)
Thank you so much for the post! I am always trying to challenge my family members to think outside the box and I'm usually met with groans and rolling of eyes. This will get them thinking creatively without as much effort :) I'm also going to come up with child-similar questions so that my small nieces and nephews can play along too! I am grateful for having subscribed to this site! :)
