Tuesday, November 21 is an early release day to begin our Thanksgiving break. School will resume on Monday, November 27!
Students in the spirit of Thanksgiving next week it is always helpful to remember the value of being thankful and grateful for all that you have and in some cases don’t have. It is easy and maybe somewhat natural to focus on the negatives, problems, and disadvantages you may have and it can become natural, or even a habit, to view yourself as a victim. Pay close attention to your thinking. Do you take responsibility for your day? Do you take responsibility for your effort, your thinking, your circumstances, your emotions, and your attitude? Or do you blame, make excuses, or complain? Responsibility: Response-ability. It is two words. Response and ability. Responsibility is your ability to respond to the circumstances in your life. You may not always be to blame or responsible for what has happened to you but you always have the ability to choose your response. Always! How response able are you? As we all know, the weather is heading towards much colder temperatures, and maybe some snow and ice. It won’t be sunny and 75 every day with an abundant amount of sunshine. And yes, unfortunately, for all of us maybe even a few school cancellations are in the near future. This I know is terribly concerning for our students!! Regardless of the temperatures, the circumstances in your life, school closings, difficulties, problems, etc. you can be proactive in your thinking and have a mindset of positivity, responsibility, and complete control of your response towards anything and everything you encounter. This is what it means to carry your own weather! It can always be sunny and 75 in your mind when you carry your own weather! No matter what happens to you in your life you can always choose to “carry your own weather”. When you learn this approach and adopt it into your thinking you will naturally become more thankful and grateful. Each of us has unbelievable difficulties and challenges in our lives. Some more than others. Some way more than others. I heard an analogy the other day that all of us are given a hand of cards to play in life. We all play from the same deck and are given our hand of cards to play. Yes, some are better than others and we all get to play our hand. Be thankful and grateful for the hand you have been dealt. Play it to the best of your ability. Respond to the best of your ability. Remember, every day is good. Some are better than others but every day is good. You are 100% successful at surviving your worst of days! Be thankful and carry your own weather!!
