WHERE GRATITUDE GROWS CHALLENGES YOU...

Share One Screen-Free Meal Each Day

When I was growing up, we sat around the table together.

We asked how each other's day had been.

We talked about what was happening in our lives.

Sometimes we talked about important things.

Sometimes we talked about trivial things.

But we talked.

As electronics have become part of our daily lives,

I've noticed families - including my own - begin eating separately more often.

And sometimes we eat together, but separately.

We may be sitting around the same table, but everyone is looking at a television, phone, or tablet instead of talking to the people right in front of them.

So this week, Where Gratitude Grows challenges you to share at least one screen-free meal each day with your family.

Turn off the television.

Put away the phones and tablets.

Sit together and talk.

Talk about your day.

Tell stories.

Ask questions.

Laugh.

Talk about anything you want.

The subject doesn't matter.

Your attention does.

And don't take this challenge alone. Challenge your family to do it with you.

One meal a day.

Seven days.

No screens.

No distractions.

Just time dedicated to one another.

Are you up for the challenge?

At the end of the week, notice what you learned when everyone finally looked up.

I believe in you.
