The Glad Game - 1st Edition

The Glad Game.

What is it?
I'm sure The Glad Game has been around for decades, however it is new to me. Passed on by a remarkable woman (A lovely Patsy Stone/Hyacinth Bucket/Ita Buttrose hybrid - Love her!) around the dinner table in a Tuscan villa, The Glad Game is to be played each day to remind yourself of the good things that happen in what can be a bleak world.

The Rules:
- To start the game: Take a deep breath, smile and say "Let's play The Glad Game".
- Accentuate the positive
- Each person playing The Game must share one thing that made them glad on the day the game is played
- Take turns until all participants are feeling better (or you've drained the bottle)
- Must be positive
- Must support each other. It's not a competition
- Minimum players: 1. No age limit
- Don't let it turn into the I'm Not Glad game

So, given that I am in a particularly foul mood, I will play The Glad Game to show you how it's done.

Let's play The Glad Game.

- I am glad that I made it to the bus stop without getting too wet.
- I am glad I own gum boots.
- I am glad that I have a job and have the money to live the lifestyle I want.
- I am glad that the customers were nice to me today. Thank you.
- I am glad that my photos turned out better than I had expected.
- I am glad that I went to the op shop today.
- I am glad that I have someone to love, and that I am loved back.
- I am glad that I have this game to play.
- I am glad that I have a bed/similar to go to tonight. I'm sheltered from the cold and the rain.
- I am glad that I helped others today.
- I am glad that the sales assistant was so lovely today.
- I am glad that I can paint a French manicure with my left hand.
- I am glad that I can go to bed now, feeling a little less turbulent. Thanks Glad Game!

Sincerely,
Agnes.
