Each year, during some quiet moment during this season of Thanksgiving, I like to number a sheet of blank paper 1-my current age. Then I list everything I'm grateful for in my life, my community, and the world. This exercise quickly silences any murmuring and complaining I may be tempted to do. Perhaps it will do the same for you. What are you grateful for this year?
This exercise works well with students of all ages too - no matter what course you're teaching.
