Showing Gratitude by helping others in need.

Daily I try to reflect on things for which I am grateful. This list could be very long if I committed myself to listing each and every little thing. I am a grateful person. During thanksgiving, others are motivated to reflect on things for which they are grateful and the world seems a little nicer.  As a parent I look for ways to teach my children to know and understand how and why to be grateful.  This tends to be a challenge for any parent. I sometimes have the opportunity to visit homeless shelters and food pantries during my work days. If you every feel like things are not going well for you or you have not stopped to reflect on what you should be grateful for, go volunteer at a shelter, soup kitchen, food pantry. You will be overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude for what you have. On thanksgiving I volunteer serving/working at a local food pantry. My children accompany me and help serve a wonderful hot meal for those less fortunate in our community. I would challenge anyone to take a few minutes out of their day to help another. Show your gratitude!

 

Happy Thanksgiving, B

Things That Go On In My Head...

Things I make...

I haven't  posted for a couple of weeks as I have been spending much of my free time (which is very little) drawing. I have been creating a type of Mandala that really is about many issues including mental health, spirituality, discipline, anxiety. So I wanted to start posting some of these...
