Dare to Play!

Yea, there will be a lot of that in ICE.

I'm looking forward to having the next week off for the winter break. It's so nice to be able to take time out of my busy schedule to spend the holidays with my family. When I was a teenager, I couldn't wait to grow up and get away from my parents. And now, as I become wiser (or older), I really enjoy their company. They were great role models for me as a kid, and they still love me unconditionally. I can't thank them enough for all that they've done for me. Packed lunches, graduation ceremonies, skiing lessons, Aesops' fables - they have spent so much time in making me the person that I am today. I hope that I make them proud every day. And it's important they know I'm so grateful for everything. I'm going to be EXTRA helpful around the house by cooking, cleaning, smiling, and appreciating how lucky I am to have my family around me for the holidays. Other people may not be as fortunate, but I do hope that they are at least surrounded by people they love.

So this holiday, make sure you show the people that you love just how much they mean to you. Who are your role models and how have they affected your life?

Peace. Love. Joy.
