Thanksgiving Break is upon us and we are deep in the Alaskan wilderness. Hopefully we come back to society and join with family and friends over respite from the rigors of school.
This is what I would like you to do over Thanksgiving:
- Be thankful. Truly. Open your eyes to your many blessings and then thank God. Also thank those who have blessed you immensely (even if imperfectly).
- Observe. In particular have your eyes open to Thanksgiving and the rituals surrounding it. If you celebrate Thanksgiving with family or friends, record three (3) observations in and around your Thanksgiving meal and tradition. If you do not celebrate Thanksgiving, record three (3) observations regarding a meal you have or from a few different meals.
- If you so desire: I have posted on Drive a second reflection piece regarding Into the Wild. My expectations for your response are super high. I want thoughtfulness and insight beautifully interwoven. This will be due on Wednesday, December 4th. If you want to tackle it over Thanksgiving while things are still fresh in your mind, go for it. If you want to wait, that is fine as well.
