This show is loosely inspired by this week’s column, New Year’s List: Seven Attitudes of Gratitude. We’ll be discussing how gratitude equals happiness.
Welcome to 2013 and Happy New Year. Our first #DadChat of the year took on the themes of my last two columns, New Year’s List: Seven Attitudes of Gratitude and Christmas and New Year’s: Best Time of the Year, 12 Reflections. We talked about GRATITUDE Thursday, January 3 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. It was quite inspiring as you can read in the transcript. Join us EVERY Thursday at the same time, same place, same hashtag!
Okay, I haven’t done this list before, but it is now going to be an annual event. Gratitude, as my friend Dennis Prager espouses, is the number one ingredient to happiness. I completely concur. He wrote a whole book on happiness and dedicates one hour of his weekly show to that topic because he believes happy people make a better world. Don’t you?
My boys and I have a habit of telling tall tales. Naturally, I was the one who started this “tradition” and it’s been fun ever since to try and keep a straight face when pulling each other’s leg. Last night I pulled off perhaps the best one ever, aided by the ease of doing it via texting.
Dad and Son reflect on a long year. There were many ups and downs, but all is ending well and Because I Said So is up to #67 with this comic strip. A very special Thank You to VoogDesigns for the awesome artwork since day one!

Reflection – Very loosely inspired by this week’s column, Christmas and New Years: Best of the Year, 12 Reflections
So, what has you really irked this past year? We ranted out the year and had an all-out RANT-A-THON at #DadChat on Thursday, December 27th, though it turned into a positive reflection on the good in our lives rather than just a whining sessions. Says something about our community! Read the transcript and see you next year!
Given that I like to talk, I thought I might as well talk about and read my new book to you! I’m calling this a B-Vlog – a book-vlog! The book is titled, The Empty Nest Road Trip Blues: An Interactive Journal from A Dad’s Point-of-View. My good friend Dave Taylor wrote a glowing review as he really GOT it – find that review here: http://www.http://gofatherhood.com/2012/12/the-empty-nest-road-trip-blues/. Another great dad friend, Christopher Lewis also wrote a terrific review: http://dadofdivas.com/fatherhood/book-review-the-empty-nest-road-trip-blues-by-brucesallan
