I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything." - Pedro Arrupe

Happy Day of Giving Thanks!

Turkey apples, a family (and now classroom!) tradition
Christmas and birthdays are all well and good. Fourth of July might even be right up there. But give me Thanksgiving over all of them.

Yep, it's my favorite holiday - maybe it's the mix of fall and football, food and fun. There's so much tradition (including the annual Turkey Trot and turkey apples (pictured above)) and so much for which to be thankful. Even holiday music is now permissable (and even desirable) - let the countdown to Christmas begin!

Yes...

Thanksgiving...
a day to slow down
to spend time with family
to enjoy the traditional turkey and (of course) pumpkin pie
and to give thanks to God for the blessings in our lives.

Wishing you and yours a very happy and thanks-filled day!

Don't forget to leave some leftovers for tomorrow...
