Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of year. It comes at a time when I am needing a little more downtime and a few extra days at home to recharge and get organized. I also LOVE pie. The turkey is good as leftover sandwiches, but the pie is really my favorite. There are so many, but I could just spend the day being thankful and eating pie!
What I don't like about Thanksgiving, is that it seems to be the most overlooked holiday. Each year Christmas arrives sooner and sooner giving the feeling that we go from Halloween to Christmas, jack-o-lanterns to trees! All of the holidays seem to be so commercialized that it has seems to have lost it's value.
As we get ready to celebrate a season of Thanksgiving, let's remember that every day we should offer thanks. On the hardest days, there are still reasons to be thankful. I truly feel like education is the best place to be and I am so thankful that every day I get to be immersed in it. I love to learn, I love to see children's eyes light up when they finally "get it," I love to provide opportunities for others to grow, and I love the environment that schools provide every day.
In a world that is so busy to get on to the next thing or the next holiday, let's take some time this week to pause and give thanks. Happy Thanksgiving!
