A Message from FACE
Dear SAUSD families,
For many of us, COVID-19 may have brought about a repetitive and stressful lifestyle. There might be a lot of good in our homes, but at a certain point, through sheer repetition, we might stop seeing how others enhance our daily lives. As humans do, we tend to take the good things for granted—and the repetitive nature of lockdown only expands that tendency. Our current conditions may not allow us to make space for thankfulness.
In the spirit of the month of Thanksgiving, gratitude is one of they key tools we can use to enhance our day to day. When we give thanks for everyday things, we make them visible again. When we’re able to do that, we give our happiness a little boost and we train our brains to see the good, and even the not so good, in a different light. With that being said, here is a helpful article that outlines 4 ways to be grateful during the pandemic:

But all in all, always remember to be gentle and kind to yourself. It is the best form of gratitude you can have. And when it comes down to it, you deserve as much gratitude for yourself as you give everyone else.
With much care,
Lisette Martinez-Acebo
SAUSD FACE Specialist, Region II
