Gratitude

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” ~ Melody Beattie

I have often spoken of gratitude.  I truly believe it is what transforms our lives and helps us find the happiness we are always seeking.  At this time of year, gratitude is often acknowledged more and we find those acknowledgements more poignant. However, gratitude is truly important every day the whole year through. 

The beauty of gratitude cannot be denied, especially when it is expressed in the words of a child.  Every year, the School of Grammar students share what they are thankful for with the school community through our “Thankful” wall.  This year the wall is in the Forum by the entrance to the School of Grammar.  If you are in the building, you should take some time to read some of the words of gratitude from our students.  I have posted a few pictures below if you are not able to see it in person.









Have wonderful holiday break!
