A few quotes that I like on blessings , thankfulness and Gratitude
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not,
but rejoices for those which he has.
- Epictetus
To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take
nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind
that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done for you
is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the
good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off
the word or action for the expression of gratitude.
- Albert Schweitzer
There is a calmness to a life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy.
- Ralph H. Blum

Hi Kay,
ReplyDeleteI love the shade tree photo you took above.
I make science lessons for elementary teachers to use in their classrooms, and I’m doing a unit on plants and trees and their elements needed to survive. Your photo would work perfectly for one part of a lesson, and I think it would really help to engage the students. I was wondering if you’d be willing to let me use the photo in our lesson?
I’ll make the lessons available to teachers on www.mysteryscience.com. We’re a group of educators trying to make it easy for elementary teachers to inspire a love of science in their students.
We are a small private business and we don't have any foundation grants so we don’t have a budget to pay for photos. But if you would be willing to let us use your interesting (and educational) photo, we will publicly display your name and a link to your website in our photo credits. Would this be okay with you? Your photo would be permanently embedded in our lesson, so we want to be sure you're okay with this.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my request!
Laura
