November 2022 CDP: Gratitude

Our CDP message for November is Gratitude. We like to talk about Gratitude leading up to Thanksgiving, reminding students to be thankful for everything they have. We can practice gratitude by saying thank you to the people around us, like our family members, friends, teachers and co-workers, for everything they do for

us. We can also think of something we are grateful for every day, whether a small thing like a good breakfast or a big thing like our home, school or job. We can continue these practices after Thanksgiving and throughout the new year as well. If we practice gratitude regularly, we are developing an attitude of gratitude, which is an extremely important part of being a martial artist and a really great person!
