50 Ways to be a better Dad - #13
#13 - Be Grateful
Author Tim Hansel has 4 tips for contentment. (He actually calls them "commandments.") These have direct application for the holidays:
1. Live here and now. The holiday season is about anticipation and looking forward, but don’t forget to also make the most of every moment with your family. Look for the miracles right in front of you!
2. Don't hurry. The tragedy of the Christmas/holiday rush is that we neglect things – and usually people – that are far more important. Slowing down helps us to live in the here and now. We're more likely to notice and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells that make this season so wonderful.
3. Don't take yourself too seriously. The person who takes himself too seriously ends up being a pretentious, defensive man who works five times harder than necessary to try and prove himself. Meanwhile, he forgets to laugh – especially at himself. Laughing at yourself can be a great strength for fathers – and it can really help things go more smoothly this time of year.
3. Be grateful. The Thanksgiving holiday should live on. Gratitude is at the heart of peace and contentment, and can radically alter how you go through the Christmas/holiday season.

50 Ways to be a Better Dad - #10
#10 - Realize that a father's job is never done
Even after children are grown and ready to leave home, they will still look to their fathers for wisdom and advice. Whether it's continued schooling, a new job or a wedding, fathers continue to play an essential part in the lives of their children as they grown and, perhaps, marry and build their own families.
