明天是感恩节，我读报纸，学习了感恩技巧：
I read an article in the newspaper and learned some techniques to be thankful:
1. Keep a journal full of all the things you are thankful for - Write all the things you are grateful for that day
作感恩日记 - 记录一天下来的感恩事项
2. Watch what you talk - don’t use harsh words to yourself or others, instead use kind,encouraging, and polite words
注意言论 - 不要说伤害别人的话，多说鼓励别人、有礼貌的好话
3. Pause mindfully every once in a while- this will help you to cool of your mind and make you not to worried
每天稍停片刻 - 让脑子放松，不烦躁
4. Keep good memories- to keep nice memories keep photographs, drawings, and written accounts in scrapbooks , photo albums, and in picture frames around your house (this helps you remember nice memories in the past)
保留好的记忆 - 将相片、绘画、日记放入剪贴本、相册、或家里的相框里（这样可以帮助你记住过往的好时光）
5. Go on a gratitude visit- write a letter of thanks to someone who helped you in the past and maybe give them a gift to express your thanks. Then read it to them on the phone or in person
去做感恩之行 - 写“感谢卡”给曾经帮助你的人，或许送给他们一份礼物以示感激。然后当面或在电话里将感谢信读给他们听。
6. When you aren’t thankful- think about people poorer than you that don’t have what you have and instead of being not thankful you should be grateful for what you have.
若心无感恩 - 想想那些比你穷困的人。与其心无感恩，不如感谢你所拥有的。
7. Count blessings, not sheep - Review events and people to be grateful for during the day as you're falling asleep.
数点祝福，不数绵羊 -- 临睡前，回放一天内让你感恩的事与人。
Doing these things helps adults and kids.
