I have worked with so many wonderful people that it is very difficult to choose, therefore, I want to express my sincere thanks to each an everyone of my colleagues who shared their thoughts, opinions, and views. Experiencing this journey with all of you has been an enlightening and learning experience. With each activity I feel we all grew as early childhood professionals. I feel that each of us have created a special partnership that grew from support and the desire learn from one another as well as from our activities. It was wonderful to see familiar names and familiar faces in your blogs again.

With each activity I felt that I had a better understanding and perspective about the methods of communication and collaboration with every post I read.

I wish for everyone much success, celebration and I hope to see your names in my group again!

Dr. Pickens, I would like to extend my appreciation for being such a wonderful professor. Your words of encouragement and sincerity especially at a time when my family was in a moment of crisis. Thank you .

  

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
