Hi penguins,
I love this time of year! Of course it's fun to see fall changes all around (the leaves, the weather, the fuzzy sweaters), but what I love most of all is the reminder to be thankful. We are so busy all the time, and sometimes I forget how lucky I am. It's important to remember all that we have and all that we can do. I am thankful for SO many things, but here are a few:
- my caring and fun-loving husband
- my sweet and gentle son
- my bright and brave daughter
- my parents, my siblings, my grandmother, my aunts & uncles, my niece and nephews.....my family that loves and supports me
- my hard-working and fun teaching partners (that's Mrs. V. and Mrs. Dorn!)
- my friends, both near and far
- all the smart, silly, creative kids in the Galapagos Village
- my home that keeps me safe and warm
- the food that I eat and that I feed to my family
- my health and the health of my family
- the chance to live in a country where we have choices and opportunities
- natural beauty - animals, plants, trees, flowers, lakes, oceans, mountains
- books, beaches, music....all the things that bring me joy
I think I could go on forever, but I'd love to hear your thoughts too. For what are you thankful?
Love,
Mrs. Barboza
