During COVID-19, I have had to make sacrifices, but I have also had much to be grateful for. Here are some of the many people I’m grateful for this year:
- the front-line workers who made sure we had food and supplies
- the many health care professionals who managed our testing, treatments and care
- the students who adapted to distanced learning and made the best of it under challenging circumstance
- the educators who stayed committed to providing an inspiring education during a time when all the rules changed and everything had to be reimagined from the ground up
- the parents who were overwhelmed with the responsibility for home learning and yet helped their children and teens move forward in their education
- the family and friends who found new ways to stay connected and support one another safely during the pandemic
This message is for them:
‘Thank you for your commitment to helping us all move forward during this difficult time. I appreciate all you have done to make things better, in big and small ways. You made many sacrifices so that others could succeed. You inspire me to do more and be more by your example.”
Take a moment, in this season of giving thanks, to share a message of gratitude with someone who has inspired you during this challenging year.
