Use music to boost spirits. If your family has musical talent, why not create a fun (and perhaps silly) song that lifts spirits, makes everyone smile and helps them remember their blessings? Not everyone is that musically talented, so perhaps create your own playlist of happy-memory recorded music everyone loves. Music often sets the mood, so playing positive music around the house is bound to make everyone appreciative of the small things in life.
Play some blessing bingo. Create a bingo board filled with things that make your family thankful. Repeatedly calling out your blessings to your family is bound to bring those positive things to the forefront of your minds. When someone gets a bingo, you can even have that person share some favorite memories or associations from each of the blessings that were part of the winning lineup.
