　　Have you played it? It's a game for a person or for a carload．

　　Someone begins, “I'm grateful to God for…”And he or she shares something．Then the next person gives gratitude for something．This goes on for 5 minutes or more until you reach your destination．There's no loser．Everyone feels happy after expressing gratitude．And sometimes you discover amazing things．

　　My 5-year-old granddaughter and I played the gratitude game when she visited us．I found out she was grateful to her friend Josh…and “the other Josh”．She was grateful to go swimming at the pool．She was grateful to have a daddy who played with her and to a nice mommy．

　　She would begin the gratitude games as soon as we settled into the car to drive somewhere．Playing it with her, I tried to be honest and not just say something fast．I really stopped to think．What was I grateful for at the moment? That our country was not at war．That we had plenty to eat．Playing the game made me more aware of the good things in my life．

　　A friend of mine was having a tough time seeing that there wasn't any good in his life．I suggested to my friend that he take a few minutes before going to bed and write down all the good things he could think of that happened during the day．

　　Later he told me what happened．He couldn't think of anything good．But he persisted until he was able to write a few things down．

　　The next morning he decided to look for signs of good during the day．He sat down on his front steps．A robin(知更鸟)landed on the grass．In his words, it began “doing a little dance”, preening(整理羽毛)and cleaning itself．He watched the entire show．It was delightful．He realized that if he hadn't been really looking for good, he would never have noticed the robin and would have missed what to him was a remarkable display．

　　That evening he filled several pages with recordings of good that had happened during the day and things he was grateful for．Gratitude had made a huge difference!

Because taxi drivers are tough，people get the 40 impression that they are bad. Taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will act as 41 fellows. Almost every week you read in the papers where a taxi driver 42 money or jewels or like that people leave in their 43 . If they weren't honest，you wouldn't be reading those stories in the papers. One time，I found an emerald（翡翠的）ring in my car. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of suitcases that day，so I went back to where I had 44 her off. It took me almost two days to wait for her in order to return her 45 to her. I didn't get as much as “thank you.” 46 ，I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she 47 .

I was born and brought up in Ireland until I was nineteen years old. I came to this country in 1913 where I 48 several jobs to earn a few dollars before joining the army in World War I. After being discharged(退伍)，I bought my own car and have owned one ever since. It hasn’t been too easy 49 ，but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit 50 for a rainy day(一时之需). In all my years of driving a taxi，I have never had___51__ with the public，not even with drunks. Even if they get a little headstrong(顽固的) once in a while，I just agree with them and then they behave themselves.

People ask me about tips. As far as I know， 52 everyone will give you something，because most Americans are 53 generous. I always try to be nice to everyone，whether they 54 or not. I believe in God and try to be a good member of my parish（教区）. I try to act toward others like I think God wants me to act. I have been trying this for a long time，and the 55 I try，the easier it gets.
