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.  It turns problems into gifts, failure into successes, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events.
It can turn an existence into a real life, and disconnected situations into important and beneficial lessons.  Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates vision for tomorrow.
~Melodie Beattie

We talk a lot about being thankful to students for what we have, but as adults rarely take stock ourselves.   In this crazy world today take a moment to experience real gratitude.  We always want more and more, but so often do not realize how fortunate we are to have what we do.  Think about your life comparatively, not just at this time of year, but anytime you believe that you “need” more of something.  You might just find you have everything you need already!
Here are a few things our students are thankful for this year…








Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Break!
