We hear the word gratitude more often this time of year, yet there are reasons to think about gratitude more regularly, especially given the challenges we have faced in 2020. Practicing gratitude is being aware of the things worth appreciating. Take a moment to write down some of things you’re grateful for, no matter how big or small – food on your table, a beautiful sunset or a sturdy umbrella. With practice and attention, your gratitude list may grow. Check out this article on gratitude or speak confidentially with an EAP counselor at 866-724-4327.
Be sure to stop by the cafeteria on Tuesday, November 24 and Wednesday, November 25 for BWFH's annual Montilio’s bake sale. Pie flavors include apple, apple crumble, ricotta, blueberry, custard, pumpkin, sweet potato and southern pecan, or you can also choose from blueberry, cranberry or pumpkin bread, Italian cookies, Thanksgiving cupcakes and chocolate grand marnier cake.
Also available for purchase (November 24 only) will be a $30 apple or pecan pie supporting our friends at Community Servings during their Pie in the Sky fundraiser. Your purchase will feed a neighbor in need for an entire week.
