Fruits of the Spirit Teague

The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. Abraham Lincoln, Thanksgiving Proclamation, 1863

Happy Thanksgiving 2017

Category: Post Feed Tags: , Leave a Comment

give thanks
What a great tradition, this 4th Thursday of November we call Thanksgiving.  A day dedicated to Thanks.  A time to enjoy family and friends, in a feast of good food and good company.  A day to reflect on thankfulness shown to you by family, friends and people unknown.  A day to touch someone known or unknown to you, that maybe less fortunate during these rough times for many.
This day we must give thanks to the many who wear the uniform in our armed forces and protect our nation from our enemies.  Without their dedication and commitment to us, this nation, we would not be able to have this day of Thanks.
Take a minute to renew your spirit of living, to illuminate what brings you joy, meaning and to give thanks to the many special people who have touched your/our lives.
Happy Thanksgiving.
(from my friend J. McShane)

Weekend Ed. Quote ~ November 18

“A collaborative perspective has the individual taking responsibility for constructing meaning while including the participation of others in confirming worthwhile knowledge. Meaningfulness and worthwhileness reflect the cognitive and social perspectives of an educational experience. Therefore, meaning and knowledge are both personally and socially constructed. This balanced integration of cognitive and collaborative learning processes, therefore, defines learning outcomes as both personally meaningful and socially worthwhile.” (Garrison, 1997, p. 18)

“Loneliness kills. It’s as powerful as smoking or alcoholism,” Robert Waldinger, Director on the Harvard Study of Adult Development, one of the world’s longest studies of adult life. “It’s not just the number of friends you have, and it’s not whether or not you’re in a committed relationship,” says Waldinger, “It’s the quality of your close relationships that matters.”

 

How does this insight from the longest studies of adult life impact your educational decisions?

“Good relationships don’t just protect our bodies; they protect our brains…And those good relationships, they don’t have to be smooth all the time. Some of our octogenarian couples could bicker with each other day in and day out, but as long as they felt that they could really count on the other when the going got tough, those arguments didn’t take a toll on their memories,” Robert Waldinger, Director on the Harvard Study of Adult Development, one of the world’s longest studies of adult life.

 

How does this insight from the longest studies of adult life impact your educational decisions?
