A little more joy, a little more connection
Good morning from the table.
It’s our midweek check-in. How are you doing?
Is the week going well? Are you feeling on top of things? Or could you use a little reset?
A little more laughter. A little less rushing.
A moment to appreciate what’s going right. Or a chance to connect with someone we love.
So here’s your reminder: You still have the opportunity to make today an amazing 24 hours.
Full of sunshine and hope.
And I’ve gathered a few ideas to help!
Now, pull up a chair. The table is set. Let’s gather!
Our most popular individual game on the site – 35,000+ readers have played different versions all year long.

TABLE WISDOM
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
– Commonly attributed to Winston Churchill

The Hidden Wisdom in These Gratitude Quotes Will Completely Shift Your Perspective
Stop missing out on everyday joy. If you’re only focusing on what’s lacking, you’re ignoring these life-changing truths.
CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK
This week, make a point to notice the good things that are already part of your life.
Not just the big milestones or exciting moments. Look for the little things, too.
Write three things down today. Or try sharing one thing you’re grateful for at dinner each night.
You might be surprised by what everyone comes up with!
AFFIRMATION OF THE WEEK
I notice my many blessings.
Who in your group is secretly the most like Santa?
It may be different than you think!
P.S. If this kind of game is a favorite for you, we now also have Who Is Most Like an Elf and Who Is The Biggest Grinch – All are free for you 🙂
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
What’s one little tweak that would make the rest of your week feel better?
- Maybe it’s putting your phone away during dinner.
- Taking a walk.
- Asking someone how they’re really doing.
- Or choosing to focus on what’s going right instead of everything that’s going wrong.
Small adjustments can change the direction of an entire day.
