Public Spark

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! These are five things that I plan to do today.

• Help cook

  Thanksgiving is usually an extra great feast at my house. I am not a great cook like parents, I usually like to help out and learn a couple of tricks and secrets from the family recipe.

• Watch movies

  Like the rest of the holidays, I value taking it easy. Usually pretty funny comedies or good family movies come out around this time.

• Take a family walk

  Before the tryptophan from the turkey sets in, my family and I usually like to go for a walk. It is nice to have quality time and get exercise at the same time.

• Play golf and practice singing

  Holiday is a great time to get my practice time in. You will see me at the golf course or hear me practicing at home.

• Think about things that I am grateful for:

  • having a career

  • opportunity to receive public education

  • having a roof over my head, as well as food on my plate every day

  • having support from family and friends through ups and downs

  • being bi-cultural

  • finding new interests and new opportunities every day

  • being in a place or position to be able to help others in need
