Now this is the type of initiative that I like to see!
Earlier today, 
While the challenge itself my be rather simple, it has the potential to forever change people's lives down here in more ways than one. Ultimately, it is an effort to culture within others a greater thankfulness and appreciation than they would normally express.
#gratefulvibes
You suck, life is terrible, it's always someone else's fault and nothing really matters anyway... have a nice day!
Yeah, those are the type of common comments and attitudes that seem to radiate from certain individuals. Don't they make you crave more? Don't they just encourage you to come on back for more tomorrow?
No, they really don't, do they? There is too much of those lame mentalities in the world already, but we still can all have the tendency to fall into those mindsets. This challenge from
When we focus of the negative and unfortunate, unfortunately our lives become more negative. The more negativity that we are surrounded by, the greater the likelihood that it will influence us. I saw let's join in with
If more and more of us begin to emit #gratefulvibes on a daily basis, what would the effect be?

PAPA'S THOUGHTS
When I first heard about this idea yesterday, I thought that it was brilliant. Then, when I read the post today, I was all the more encouraged.
You see, being grateful is right up my alley. In fact, someone once ran a program to search the blockchain for the word "thank." At the time, 
In this unfortunate time period where so many have a lame entitled attitude, real gratefulness and thankfulness can be hard to come by. It seems that a lot of people have trained themselves to take everything that they have for granted and to complain about everything that they don't have.
I'd rather be thankful for what I do have and be content with it. If I feel that I need something else, then I'll try to work towards obtaining it with hard work and a positive attitude.
I don't think that I deserve much of anything in this life. My wife, children, and other things are blessings that I am incredibly grateful to be able to enjoy in this life. I don't want to feel entitled about anything or unappreciative as I live this life.
