Taking time to be grateful is within our locus of control. I am grateful for good
health, a roof over my head and reports of safe family members. Being a resident
of Washington state where people are willing to stay inside their homes makes
me grateful. Staying at home has proven to bring measured benefits to our public
health. I am also grateful for 50%recorded less pollution and the kindness of my
neighbors who i am learning to trust. I am grateful for Evergreen, Tacoma and our
smooth transition to remote learning. Wow, gratefulness just changed my

My hope is that you continuously look for reasons to be grateful this week and
hold onto the powerful feelings that manifest from that mental exercise. I look
forward to learning about your stories of gratitude.
