Gratitute Lists
Katie helped me print out a few papers on card stock so that everyone could fill in the things they were grateful for on Thanksgiving afternoon. She added this definition on the top of the page: ‘appreciation for your loved ones, experiences, and moments in life; feeling of joy for life’s little blessings.’ Thanks Katie!
