Count Your Blessings

To start off the class, Tema came back and this time there was no small talk ;). We went straight into to ice breaking activities and this is what we got...



We then talked about the five senses that we may sometimes take for granted. Here is a little summary of the discussion.

I have ten fingers and ten toes. I can see, hear, taste, smell, and feel. I have the ability to smile and laugh, to cry and frown.

Can you relate? Do you remember that you have all of these gifts at your fingertips everyday of your life? And even if you lack one or more of these abilities, what gifts DO you have? The main focus of week three's class was built around appreciating all of the things that we as humans take for granted. This life will always present obstacles; some large, some small, some mental, some emotional, and some physical. Yet, how do we use what we have to function in everyday society and to reach our goals? What if one of these abilities was suddenly taken away from us? Could we survive? We as a class were able to explore this idea through various activities and interactions.
