[00:00:08] Welcome to Crossing the Line, a podcast where we talk about all things relationship and how to cross that line and lead with your head and lead with your heart and then lead with your heart and lead with your head.
[00:00:20] We talk about how to build those important relationships in your life and we're so glad that you are here. I'm Larry Little.
[00:00:27] And I'm Melissa Jackson.
[00:00:28] And Melissa. I'm not believing this. I mean, are you kidding me? We're here at Thanksgiving? I mean, really?
[00:00:34] I was thinking the same thing. You know, how has this year, you know, it's just flown by and here we are, Thanksgiving and goodness, fall.
[00:00:44] Yeah.
[00:00:45] It is so hard to believe. So Thanksgiving is coming and, you know, I was just thinking about this the other day because, you know, you're shopping and you see, you know, they're putting out the things at the grocery store that involve ingredients for your casseroles and all the different food at Thanksgiving.
[00:01:01] And so I was thinking, you know, I'm going to have this this year. What's your favorite food at Thanksgiving?
[00:01:09] Well, okay. Look, I think we should disqualify. I mean, everybody can say turkey and dressing, but let's, although, you know, there are different kinds of dressing.
[00:01:20] I didn't know this until I had relatives that moved up north. Do you know that, like, we're in the south, right? We live in the south, but up north, they have this interesting kind of dressing.
[00:01:32] It's not like the cornbread. I guess that's right. I mean, I don't know. It's like stale bread stuff. I mean, I'm not knocking it. I'm not knocking it.
[00:01:39] It sounds like you are.
[00:01:40] Okay. I probably am. But it's fine, but it's not that good cornbread dressing, you know.
[00:01:48] So I like it all. It's bread and it's just good. Crunchy on the corners, the outside. It's so good.
[00:01:57] My favorite at Thanksgiving, it is not the turkey.
[00:02:01] No.
[00:02:01] And it's not the dressing.
[00:02:02] No, I don't either.
[00:02:03] I like the dressing.
[00:02:03] Right.
[00:02:04] It's the sides.
[00:02:05] The sides.
[00:02:05] It is the casseroles.
[00:02:07] Okay. All right.
[00:02:08] My mother-in-law introduced me when I came into the family to pineapple casserole. It's pineapple chunks. It's cheese. It's sugar. It's some flour. And then crumble on top. You get the Ritz crackers, the butter, you melt it. It's just a big pile of dessert.
[00:02:28] But it's a side. It's not dessert. It's a side.
[00:02:30] I kind of, okay, I'm going to follow you there because there are two things, two sides. They're my favorite. One, of course, is the old sweet potato casserole. Oh my gosh. It's so good.
[00:02:42] It is so good.
[00:02:43] Sweet potato casserole, one of my favorites. The other is, I think I'm kind of weird on this, but it's hot fruit, you know, that, yeah, you make it, you put it in a dish and I don't know.
[00:02:57] Hot fruit.
[00:02:57] But it's hot fruit and it's really good.
[00:03:00] Like what kind of hot fruit?
[00:03:01] Well, you have like peaches and you have, I don't know, plums and you have fruit, all different kinds of fruit. I don't know. And you cook it though. You cook it in a sauce and, you know, you come out and it's warm and.
[00:03:14] Crackers on top?
[00:03:14] No.
[00:03:15] Butter?
[00:03:15] No. Yes.
[00:03:16] Sugar?
[00:03:17] Yes.
[00:03:18] Fruit.
[00:03:18] Got butter and fruit. Got butter and sugar on that fruit. You know, it's kind of juicy.
[00:03:22] Cobbler?
[00:03:23] It's kind of a cobbler, but it's a, it's a side, but man, it's good. Yeah. Maybe, maybe a cobbler would be a, but hot fruit. Yeah. I love hot fruit. I don't know.
[00:03:30] That's a new one.
[00:03:31] Yeah. I know. Well, I mean, you have your pineapple deal. I have my fruit deal. I guess we're fruity. I don't know.
[00:03:37] Mm-hmm. The desserts, the sides. I would take a whole plate of that.
[00:03:42] I know. And, and then I'll tell you what else is good. Like after Thanksgiving, you know, and you go into that refrigerator and, and you get some of that dressing out, you know, and even if it's cold, I don't know.
[00:03:56] You like cold dressing.
[00:03:57] Oh, I like, I like it.
[00:03:58] Can you go to a turkey sandwich?
[00:03:59] Turkey sandwich.
[00:04:00] Turkey sandwich. Yeah. Yes. I love turkey sandwiches.
[00:04:02] Ketchup? Mayonnaise?
[00:04:04] No. Maybe mayonnaise, but maybe, maybe a little mayonnaise, a little mustard. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe warm up some gravy. I don't know.
[00:04:12] So Thanksgiving, I want to think about your family. I think about my family. Think about personalities. So in your home or wherever you celebrate Thanksgiving, what personalities are there? What would you say?
[00:04:25] Oh my gosh. We have, we have, well, are we talking, wait, now we got to clarify. We're talking extended family or are we talking immediate family?
[00:04:33] Yes. Extended family. So we got a lot of lions in our group. We got lions and man.
[00:04:39] Tigers and bears. Tigers and bears. Yeah.
[00:04:42] So it could be, you know, Thanksgiving can always be interesting around, around our place with these lions.
[00:04:47] We have camels, a lot of camels. We got a couple of turtles and, and we, we definitely have a couple of monkeys, but I would say,
[00:04:56] you know, I would say probably we, we start off with lions. It's pretty much a lion, camely kind of, kind of thing.
[00:05:04] Yeah. On my side of the family, it looks different than my husband's side of the family. On my husband's side of the family, we're playing with kids and the kids are, are younger. And so, you know, we're having fun and doing that type of thing.
[00:05:16] On my side of the family, they're all older. And so I always have to provide a task for my side of the family because we have lions. And so we need an activity.
[00:05:27] And thankfully the men participate. We, we do some kind of craft. We have to make an ornament or we do something and, and I let them know so they can get their heads around getting involved because we need a task.
[00:05:43] We need something to do. You know, lions need something.
[00:05:46] It is so brilliant. In fact, I wanted to be like you because I knew that you did this, right? And I said, I had a lot of lions and that's on, actually it's on my wife's side of the family.
[00:05:56] On my side of the family, it's really turtle-y. It's really like, but, but I wanted to follow you. I got so excited about this thing you were doing with, with the task.
[00:06:05] So like a couple, a couple of years ago, I was like, okay, we're going to do what, we're going to do what Melissa does. We're going to do this.
[00:06:11] So my family came over and the turtles and I said, okay, we're going to build, we're going to, we're going to build these gingerbread houses.
[00:06:20] I had all the ingredients and had them all set up in stations and we divided.
[00:06:23] The turtles.
[00:06:24] Yeah. Those, those gingerbread houses still hadn't been built. I mean, they're still somewhere in the middle.
[00:06:30] Can I get those? Can I have those?
[00:06:32] It was so funny. I was like, I had to, man, I thought it was going to be just a great plan.
[00:06:37] We have to know our audience.
[00:06:38] Yeah. I didn't know my personality well enough. I didn't know my audience.
[00:06:42] And it just, I mean, they, they did it. They tried hard, you know, but we never, we never really got there yet.
[00:06:48] Oh my goodness. So we're talking today about gratitude, right? And how do we make sure we're getting our minds centered around gratitude as we approach Thanksgiving, even thinking about that.
[00:06:59] And so we've got some stats on Thanksgiving, right? We've got some things to talk about.
[00:07:04] So let's hear some of these stats.
[00:07:06] Yeah. It's really important. Well over 90% of people polled said that when you, when you show gratitude, it enhances your life in every aspect.
[00:07:16] It enhances your, your mental health, your physical health, your spiritual health.
[00:07:21] So, and there's hard data to support that as well, that having gratitude in your life really leads to a more joyful and fulfilling life overall.
[00:07:31] It just does something to your brain, right?
[00:07:35] It points the path. It puts you in a conversation, right?
[00:07:39] So my stat here is that 95% of people that were polled say that it is super important that if you are a parent or a mentor, you know, that has an opportunity to influence your kids or children, that it's important to teach gratitude.
[00:08:01] Yeah.
[00:08:01] That it just doesn't naturally happen in general that you need to teach it.
[00:08:06] It is so, that is so true and it is so important.
[00:08:08] Look, don't think that gratitude is a feeling.
[00:08:12] If I feel it, I can, if I don't feel thanks, I shouldn't give thanks.
[00:08:15] It's not a feeling.
[00:08:16] It's appreciation is a choice.
[00:08:18] You can choose to be thankful.
[00:08:21] You can choose.
[00:08:22] So I'll tell you a story.
[00:08:24] My children are grown now.
[00:08:25] They're, they're both in their thirties.
[00:08:27] But when my son, whose name is Landon, when Landon was 11, maybe, you know, I decided that we were working on things.
[00:08:37] He was hitting that, you know, 11, 12 kind of mentality.
[00:08:42] And so I told him, I said, son, I'm going to, I'm going to hire you.
[00:08:47] I'm going to hire you to, to do the, the yard, to, to, to, to mow the yard, weed the yard, trim the bushes, all of that.
[00:08:57] I'm going to, but you have a problem.
[00:08:59] You can mow.
[00:09:01] We've been mowing.
[00:09:01] I taught him how to mow earlier and he would help me in the yard.
[00:09:05] But in this transition, transition, I said, you've got a problem.
[00:09:08] You're too young to run the weed eater and you can't run the trimmer.
[00:09:12] You know, you're just too young to do that.
[00:09:14] So I'm going to get, I'm going to, going to let you hire me because I'm going to let you hire me to, to help cut the grass.
[00:09:23] Because your responsibility is going to be to cut the grass.
[00:09:25] Did he want to hire you?
[00:09:27] Well, I can't say that.
[00:09:30] At that age, thankfully, I didn't have to compete against the law.
[00:09:33] He didn't put any, you know, yeah, I didn't have to go through an employment agency.
[00:09:36] So I said, he goes, dad, he said, dad, I can't, I can't pay you.
[00:09:41] I'm not going to pay you to do the trimming.
[00:09:44] Yeah, he was smart.
[00:09:45] And I said, well, you're right.
[00:09:47] You have no money.
[00:09:48] So how, how are you going to, how are you going to pay me?
[00:09:51] I said, here's how are you going to pay me?
[00:09:53] You're going to pay me with two things.
[00:09:55] Attitude.
[00:09:56] And gratitude.
[00:09:57] And I said, you're going to have a good attitude when you do it.
[00:10:00] We're going to come out.
[00:10:01] We're going to work on our attitude because we were already having that pre-adolescent stuff going on.
[00:10:04] And I said, you're going to work on that attitude and you're going to be, you're going to show gratitude toward me.
[00:10:09] You're going to thank me for that because I wanted him to learn about gratitude.
[00:10:13] And, you know, that stuck with him.
[00:10:15] And even recently, just, just recently, a few weeks ago, he said, dad, don't forget attitude and gratitude.
[00:10:22] And we've had that joke now for a long time.
[00:10:24] Um, and it, but it made an impact on Landon and taught him that gratitude is not a feeling.
[00:10:31] Gratitude is something that he, he bargained with me and he would after, after I would trim and that kind of thing.
[00:10:37] Thank you, dad.
[00:10:38] Thanks, dad.
[00:10:39] Not perfect, of course.
[00:10:40] But we, we, we taught a lesson there.
[00:10:45] Exactly what that stat just said to you.
[00:10:46] It's important to teach your children.
[00:10:47] I love that story, Larry, because I have pulled that into our family and we are working on that.
[00:10:54] And so, you know, great legacy piece there.
[00:10:57] I have heard Landon say it too.
[00:10:59] And so, you know, we're trying our hardest.
[00:11:02] Two things.
[00:11:03] What are the two things?
[00:11:05] Attitude and gratitude.
[00:11:06] So I love it.
[00:11:08] I love it.
[00:11:09] You're teaching.
[00:11:09] And so I have a story around that real quick too.
[00:11:12] That, you know, I love that.
[00:11:15] And we're working.
[00:11:16] We are in the working phase.
[00:11:19] We are working hard on that.
[00:11:22] And how old?
[00:11:22] How old are you?
[00:11:23] 12, 12.
[00:11:24] So we are right there.
[00:11:25] But I did see something good the other day.
[00:11:28] And, you know, it, it gives you hope, doesn't it?
[00:11:31] When you see something, you have some hope.
[00:11:33] What do we call it?
[00:11:34] A win.
[00:11:34] It's a win.
[00:11:35] It's a win.
[00:11:35] So I was, I was like, oh, I'm inside.
[00:11:39] You know, this is good.
[00:11:40] This is a win.
[00:11:41] So we talk about this and, and, you know, sometimes we struggle with this, but we talk
[00:11:46] about it.
[00:11:47] And so the other day, I was super proud.
[00:11:49] We were out eating somewhere.
[00:11:51] And the restaurant was selling some cups for breast cancer awareness.
[00:11:57] And so they were selling some cups with, you know, the meal.
[00:12:01] And so all of a sudden I'm up standing there to pay for the meal.
[00:12:08] And the LA pulls out some money that she has, which is, you know, hey, that's good.
[00:12:13] Right.
[00:12:14] Right.
[00:12:14] And she buys this cup and wants to give, you know, breast cancer.
[00:12:20] And she connects that to a friend that's been struggling with breast cancer, a friend of
[00:12:25] mine, which is her friend's mom.
[00:12:27] And so, you know, I was like, that's a win.
[00:12:29] So I need to tell you about the win.
[00:12:31] Because sometimes we don't win.
[00:12:33] But, but, but, yeah.
[00:12:35] But that's a win.
[00:12:36] And you, you taught her that.
[00:12:38] And so she, you know, she did that on her own.
[00:12:41] So here's an action.
[00:12:42] She wanted to spend her own.
[00:12:43] Yeah.
[00:12:43] So here's an action.
[00:12:44] So, you know, gratitude, when we're thinking about this, it is an attitude.
[00:12:48] It's something we have to learn.
[00:12:50] But then also we do have to practice.
[00:12:52] Just like you were talking about.
[00:12:54] You know, if we just talk about it, but we don't, we don't demonstrate it or we don't
[00:12:59] show it or we don't encourage action behind it.
[00:13:03] You know, what, what is it?
[00:13:05] It's a good thought.
[00:13:06] All it is, is a thought.
[00:13:07] And, you know, the putting it into action.
[00:13:09] I liked your, your, your comment there.
[00:13:10] And, you know, our producer, Robin, she has, you know, two twin daughters.
[00:13:16] And what are they, Robin?
[00:13:17] Eight, nine?
[00:13:18] Yeah.
[00:13:18] Nine years old.
[00:13:19] And so Robin just got back from, you know, the, the trip of all trips for kids and, and,
[00:13:25] you know, the Disney world.
[00:13:26] And Robin was sharing that as they were in Disney world, both of her girls, both of her
[00:13:32] girls would just say, as they were walking through magic kingdom, the beautiful, you know,
[00:13:36] Disney.
[00:13:37] Thank you so much for taking me here.
[00:13:39] Thank you for taking us.
[00:13:40] And I thought, man, you're doing something right to win, Robin.
[00:13:43] That's a win.
[00:13:43] That's good.
[00:13:44] Good stuff.
[00:13:44] Teaching these children about gratitude.
[00:13:47] That's right.
[00:13:47] It's so important.
[00:13:48] But it's important in our, in our lives as adults.
[00:13:50] And I think it's so interesting.
[00:13:54] The statistics tell us that while people polled said they were more grateful today than they
[00:14:00] were a few years ago, overall, they say they see a decline in, in the gratitude that people
[00:14:07] display and show.
[00:14:08] And you know what the opposite of gratitude is?
[00:14:10] It's entitlement.
[00:14:11] And I will be honest with you.
[00:14:13] That's a pet peeve of mine.
[00:14:15] And, you know, Larry does not have a lot of tolerance for entitlement.
[00:14:19] And I think that we have to be aware of, of ourselves as adults because we can lose that
[00:14:25] grateful heart.
[00:14:27] We, we can, can lose that awareness of, of what we've been, if you would let me use this
[00:14:32] word, blessed with.
[00:14:34] Well, you said it's not a feeling.
[00:14:36] I think that's so important to remember.
[00:14:38] I think it's so important to, to make sure we remind ourselves about that because if it
[00:14:44] is a feeling, then it comes and goes, it goes up and down.
[00:14:47] And if we don't feel it, we don't do it.
[00:14:49] Right.
[00:14:49] And so, you know, being able to, to remember that I need to be grateful.
[00:14:57] I need to look and, and see and be reminded of what do I have to, to be grateful for?
[00:15:03] Not comparing myself to somebody else, not comparing my stuff to somebody else.
[00:15:09] You know, how can I be reminded of what I have that, you know, I can be grateful for my,
[00:15:16] my, my life, my breath, my health, you know, my ability to, to get up and go and, and do
[00:15:22] that kind of thing that, you know, there is, there is so much.
[00:15:26] If we can not be entitled and not look, look outward and, and then compare inward, you know,
[00:15:35] we can, we can, we have so much to be grateful for.
[00:15:38] Well, and I'm going to get in a soapbox for a minute.
[00:15:41] I think one of the things that keeps us from being grateful, Melissa, I really believe this
[00:15:46] is the influx, the saturation, obsession, addiction of, of social media.
[00:15:54] I think we get on that Facebook or we get on Insta, whatever you're on, but, but Facebook's
[00:16:00] horrible at it.
[00:16:00] You, you, you start scrolling and you see all these perfect people with perfect lives, take
[00:16:05] perfect trips, perfect.
[00:16:07] All you see.
[00:16:08] So beautiful.
[00:16:09] Yeah.
[00:16:09] Yeah.
[00:16:09] And you don't.
[00:16:10] Plastic containers that fit perfectly in the refrigerator and they organize your eggs and
[00:16:16] they, I'm sorry.
[00:16:18] See, you're doing it right now.
[00:16:20] See, you're not grateful for your own eggs.
[00:16:21] What's going on?
[00:16:24] I'm just saying you get on there and you scroll and you see all that and it really causes you
[00:16:29] to be envious instead of grateful.
[00:16:32] And compare.
[00:16:32] And you start comparing.
[00:16:33] Why don't I have that thing?
[00:16:34] Why don't I have that refrigerator?
[00:16:36] Why don't I have that whatever?
[00:16:38] Take that trip.
[00:16:40] Egg organizer.
[00:16:41] Um, but I think it's, I think it's really important that we step away from that and say, what have,
[00:16:46] what have I been given?
[00:16:48] What, you know, what kind of blessings?
[00:16:50] What, what do I have to be thankful for?
[00:16:53] Whether it's family, whether it's people I work with, whether it's the freedom that we all,
[00:16:57] every single person here can say, we ought to be thankful.
[00:17:01] We ought to be, you know, just have full of gratitude for what our forefathers did for us,
[00:17:07] which is what Thanksgiving is all about.
[00:17:10] Um, being grateful for that.
[00:17:12] But I think, so I think it's, and I'll get off the soapbox now, but I think it's, it's really
[00:17:17] deadly when we start that scrolling thing and we, we lose perspective of things that,
[00:17:22] that we had to be grateful for.
[00:17:23] So as we turn the corner to, to close this thing up and I know, you know, we've just
[00:17:27] been kind of talking, we want to talk about gratitude.
[00:17:29] I want to hear from you and, um, then I'll share, but I want you to just, let's, let's
[00:17:35] practice what we preach, right?
[00:17:37] Let's, let's, let's think about what we're thankful for.
[00:17:39] Let's think about, uh, things that we're, we're grateful for.
[00:17:42] All I tell you what let's do, let's just, you say something and I'll say something and
[00:17:46] then we'll, we'll kind of, kind of go back and forth for a bit about things you're
[00:17:50] grateful for.
