Gobble, gobble, gobble
As I plan my Thanksgiving meal I am grateful for so much! Most importantly knowing that my family will be together on Thursday! I am thankful to live in Maine where I saw four deer during the past week, tonight a set of twins on the way home on this rainy, damp evening. I sense that the weather is changing and that there could be snow in the next week. I am looking forward to my world being white, it puts a smile on my face and I am grateful. I am grateful for friends who share holiday wishes and open their hearts to the goodness in the world.
I am grateful for the work arts educators do for Maine students, each and every day. We know that the music and art rooms, the dance studios and the stages are where many students come alive and reach their fullest potential. Thank you for the incredible offerings that each of you bring to students.
As I thought about a Thanksgiving wish for each of you I found this poem written by Melody Beattie…
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.
Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
