gratitude

This is what our kids have to deal with having a mom who is a teacher. 

Our family assignment every year around Thanksgiving is to write a letter about what we are grateful for and to share these letters around the table. 

This year, we did this on Saturday night after Thanksgiving. 

I am convinced that this is such good work for us all to build these muscles because there are plenty of things that can weigh us down so it's essential to focus on the good gifts and to share in this practice of gratitude together. Giving thanks for these times--

These are the days to remember...
