Happy Thanksgiving

This Thursday, people all across this county, and country will gather around the table and eat entirely too much turkey, dressing, and cranberry salad.  :)  But let us not forget to give thanks for the many people, things, and blessings that we have.  

I have so much to be thankful for that it would be completely impossible to list them all.  A few of the blessings that I'm thankful for are my loving energetic children, my kind parents, my fantastic health, and that I live in the greatest nation on earth and can choose to worship as I choose.  

Middle school students often get caught up in what they see as "unfortunate circumstances" of life.  Focusing on such negative situations or ideals can greatly effect the students attitude, academic progress, and even their physical health.  Not only is the student effected by failure to see all the "good" things in life, but the family atmosphere and makeup is also drastically effected.   This Thanksgiving, and everyday, I encourage you and your children to share with each other the many, or few, things that you are thankful for and remember to daily focus on the blessings that you have been given.  

Make it a great Thanksgiving or not... the choice is yours!!!

DRIVE OF YOUR LIFE

Who doesn't love a new car that is completely loaded and customized, just like you wanted?  Just like you can customize your own car, you can also customize your own life.  Customizing your future begins with a solid education, planning, preparation, and exploration. 

DRIVE YOUR OWN LIFE, is a neat resource that boys especially, would enjoy to help them to begin thinking about their future career.  Remember, its your life so "customize" it to be what you want it to be.

Make it a great day or not.... the choice is yours!
