Each night I say a prayer with my children that I made up to send them to bed with a smile and sweet dreams. They have memorized it and are always smiling sweetly as they say The Grateful Prayer:

### “Tonight as I lay my head on my pillow, I will have a very restful sleep.

### And in the morning, when I wake, as soon as my feet touch the ground, my day will begin to be a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

### Everything that I am wanting to see, will be there, just for me.

### My life is wonderful, full of joy and I am following my bliss.

### I am so very happy… bless my family and everyone.”

## Thanksgiving is a great time to be grateful and give thanks. But so is everyday.

It is especially important before sleep to [find happiness and gratitude](https://lauralaire.com/gratitude/). Make it a daily routine to remind yourself and those around you of why you are thankful. Not just on thanksgiving.

I am thankful, grateful, and blessed and so are you…  
 Lots of love,  
 Laura
