Menciptakan percakapan keluarga yang kaya dan bermakna tentang rasa syukur bisa jadi tantangan tersendiri. Saya tahu saya pernah merasa kecewa ketika pertanyaan saya "Apa yang membuat Anda merasa bersyukur?" ditanggapi dengan respons cepat dan dapat diprediksi yang mengakhiri percakapan segera setelah dimulai. Pada musim Thanksgiving ini, saya mengambil pendekatan berbeda dengan mengajukan 20 pertanyaan tentang rasa syukur untuk membantu menghidupkan suasana berbagi kami.
Jangan ragu untuk meminjamnya atau membuat pertanyaan Anda sendiri. Anda bahkan dapat menyalin pertanyaan-pertanyaan tersebut ke kertas kecil dan meminta anggota keluarga untuk memilih satu pertanyaan dan menjawabnya.
Semoga pertanyaan-pertanyaan ini membantu membangkitkan semangat Thanksgiving!

[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.
This questionaire is a reminder of this truth.i
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! :)
