One Positive Thing
This week we asked our students to tell us something they are grateful for. The dictionary defines gratitude as the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. "Gratitude is a powerful catalyst for happiness. It's the spark that lights a fire of joy in your soul." Amy Collette
A few responses from our students:
- My family (many answered this)
- That I am healthy
- My bed
- Toilet Paper
- My computer
- My healthy family
- Going outside
- Music
- That I have a fun family that spends time with me
- My dog
- Doctors who are helping people with Corona virus
- Living in a nice house
- My friends
- My friend talking to me when I was sad
- My nice house
- The pretty weather
- That we have a platform that is working well and functioning good
- That I don't have to be rushed getting my work done
- That I can help my family around the house when they go out to work
- I'm grateful for how the grades are not allowed to drop because I am really not absorbing the information well
Sources of Strength
From Sources of Strength: "We all know that creating a schedule can be really helpful, especially while we are practicing social distancing and spending more time in our homes. We also know that it can be really fun to try new things that can jump-start our imaginations for what health might look like at home! This document, which will continue to be updated throughout the season, is a Checklist of Daily Activities to help us continue to “Work the Wheel” and practice growing our strengths. It is broken into Morning, Afternoon, and Evening sections and by the eight different strengths on the Wheel. We hope you have fun while practicing your Wheel-work this season!"
