"Attitude of Gratitude" is our 7 Mindset focus for November! The first pillar of this mindset looks at how we "treasure ourselves" - what makes us the wonderful people we are? Take a moment this week to talk as a family about the awesome talents, qualities and gifts that you're thankful for in each family member!
