Gator Run Friday Focus - November 22, 2013

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I feel that this is an appropriate message to share with everyone.  If is from Jim Valvano, college basketball coach, from his ESPY Awards speech, which he gave just eight weeks before he died of cancer. 
    
To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives.   Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.

Sounds to me like Jim might have been onto something.  Let's appreciate what we have and be thankful for our friends, family and health.  

    Quote of the Week - "'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could ask for.  I say that one a lot.  Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding." - Alice Walker

    Think Like a Detective - Can you determine the Gator Run teacher based on the following clues?
    • Is from Miami, Florida.
    • Went to school at Miami Central Senior High School.
    • Loves family, writing poetry, and different types of writing pens.
    • Her middle name is Sunshine.
