A1. I look for ways to be grateful. Some days it is for waking up. I stated taking a class on Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. One of the tings was a pleasant moment journal. It was lovely to think of one moment that was superb in each day. #Gratefuledu

A2. I do a bit of prayer. Looking at each day with gratitude and thinking of the days with an open heart. #gratefuledu

A3. I think what keeps me from drifting too far off course is journaling. I also share some of my journal entries with friends or family. #gratefuledu

A4. One of my goals for this week is to do yoga. Part of that is being present in my body and being grateful for my breath and movement. #gratefuledu

So lovely to have this time with you Elyse Hahne and #gratefuledu group. I hope that you all hava a great a couple of weeks.

I love Lake County Forest Preserves and Forest Preserves. I have been walking @ Rollins Savanna in Lake County, but I’ve been missing the deer of Deer Grove in Cook County. I see this today Lake County Forest Preserves

Shopping at vintage days with my youngest. Doing a long quiet mindful class. The hubby did the grocery shopping. Yeah! Bonus, my daughter made cookies. #gratefuledu

Didn’t check until late, but some mindfulness activities. Yoga. Mindfulness Class. #gratefuledu

It’s the end of the day. I said sincere “thank you”s. #gratefuledu

Flowers. Illinois has beautiful wildflowers. #gratefuledu

Thankful to be healthy enough to move around. Grateful to have a beautiful and safe place to exercise Forest Preserves and Lake County Forest Preserves. Happy to have the time to do it. #grateful365 sweating feels good.

Keshia, school psych from Chicagoland. Grateful for time with family--by phone and in person. #gratefuledu

A1. I talk about gratitude with everyone. I sometimes ask a friend or family member if I can take a pic & tell them that it will show up in my grateful journal. I will often write to, text , or tell people that I am grateful for that person. #gratefuledu

A2. Sometimes my prioritization of gratitude is that I have a job, deadlines, income. Sometimes it looks like appreciating the people that I am sharing time. Or it is looking outside of the work world/deadlines completely & being grateful for breath and life. #gratefuledu

A4. I will say thank you. This starts the first week back to work for our district. I think I will show my happiness for seeing people in person and thank folks for all the set up that has been done over the summer. #gratefuledu

A3. In my work life, I'm often advocating for people to show gratitude b/c it is so good for mental health. I encourage grateful journals & the psych/social work group encourages a weekly reflection for staff & students to think about what they are grateful for. #gratefuledu

Next time sounds extra interesting. Thank you for moderating. I enjoyed reading everyone's responses. I hope you all have a great couple of weeks. #gratefuledu

Agreed! Great quote.

One way that was so special is that people know how important gratitude is to me. They created a document and shared reasons why they were thankful for me. I was very touched. #gratefuledu

Besides time being outside, I think joy shines bright in my life when my kids reflect my values back to me. Kindness. Acceptance. Fairness. #gratefuledu
