Making kitchen life joyful! Identify a common complaint you have about your kitchen. Replace it with a written, related statement of gratitude.

The kitchen sink is obnoxiously small and shallow. Now, the observation that the sink is small and shallow, especially compared to the sink I had before, is simply a fact. What makes it a complaint is when I make this observation out of irritation, as if I deserved better or can’t work under such oppressive circumstances. I add the drama. I am provoked. So, here’s my written gratitude statement: The kitchen sink might be inconvenient, but I’m so glad there’s a utility sink just a few feet away in the laundry room where I can wash and soak large pots and pans. What a blessing!
