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

#gratefuledu slow chat post of the day

Name 1-2 ways joy shines bright in your life.

@R_CILR

[Keshia Gipson @SouthPsych]

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

[Elyse Hahne @Hahne_Elyse]

@R_CILR Happy and healthy. This was a nice week where I got to see and/or talk to a lot of friends and family.

[Keshia Gipson @SouthPsych]

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

[Elyse Hahne @Hahne_Elyse]

Welcome to #gratefuledu. Let’s kick off with introductions and what you’re grateful for.

[Keshia Gipson @SouthPsych]

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

[Elyse Hahne @Hahne_Elyse]

Thank you so much for joining #gratefuledu. Join us on September 8 for gratitude & literacy: shaping experiences through literature. Have a great week!

[Keshia Gipson @SouthPsych]

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

[Keshia Gipson @SouthPsych]

@Hahne_Elyse Elyse, I am so impressed with the 10 people a week goal. That is really kind of you. #gratefuledu

[Keshia Gipson @SouthPsych]

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

[Elyse Hahne @Hahne_Elyse]

Question 4: Name one way you will prioritize your gratitude and gratitude for others this week. Share your thoughts. #gratefuledu

[Keshia Gipson @SouthPsych]

@Hahne_Elyse Elyse, I love a good listener. I'm glad that you have that person in your life. #gratefuledu

[Keshia Gipson @SouthPsych]

@TigerMolly11 @Hahne_Elyse Molly, I love that you have your parents and that you have such a strong connection with them. That is such a blessing. #gratefuledu

[Keshia Gipson @SouthPsych]

@PreK33 @Hahne_Elyse Kris, especially the chocolate!

[Keshia Gipson @SouthPsych]

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

[Elyse Hahne @Hahne_Elyse]

Question 2: What is one way you prioritize gratitude under stress and/or demands? #gratefuledu

[Keshia Gipson @SouthPsych]

@TigerMolly11 @Hahne_Elyse Molly, I love that you sort through the ugly things and share the gratitude with your people. #gratefuledu

[Keshia Gipson @SouthPsych]

@R_CILR Good to see you on the chat, Rebecca.

[Keshia Gipson @SouthPsych]

@Hahne_Elyse Elyse, I feel like especially when times are crazy, I really benefit from my gratitude practice. #gratefuledu
