Gratitude doesnโ€™t erase challenges โ€” it reframes them.

Start your day with one thing thatโ€™s working.

Itโ€™ll shift how you handle whatโ€™s not. #StrongTeacher

"If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first." - Mark Twain
