Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend - Melody Beattie... For the month of November, we challenge you to remember the importance of being grateful, especially during tough times. Each day, you can add a message to our virtual Gratitude Jar, to share what you are thankful for and to help us all focus on the positive each day. To show our gratitude, we'll draw names on November 19 to award two grateful people with pies from The Pie Company.

Zacharys Dine Out event is tomorrow at their Pleasant Hill location. Call 925-602-7000 to order ahead, but make sure to show them the flyer when you pick up to get the school's donation.

Don't forget to turn your clock back one hour before you go to bed Saturday night as daylight savings ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, November 1.

Is your shopping list ready? Our 5 Little Monkeys online shopping fundraiser starts tomorrow! Use code AGNES2020 at checkout when you shop at www.5littlemonkeys.com December 1 through December 10.
