gratitude challenge day 5

I pretty much knew what I'd be thankful for today; it's what I'm thankful for every Wednesday. And actually there were a number of things today that I could choose from, but I'm sticking with my original thought. I am so thankful for Tess's violin teacher, who insists on excellence but encourages and praises her students in such a genuine way. Tess looks forward to violin each week, practices faithfully, and really loves her newfound talent. I recognize that much of her enthusiasm is due to her wonderful teacher, and I am thankful for that each time we go to a lesson.
