Giving Thanks By Giving Help

It's one thing to say, "Yeah, thanks, I'm grateful and fortunate," but it's something else entirely to live gratefully. That's what my mom did. Every day she asked, "How can I live with gratitude today? Who can I help today?" - Tressel

I'm in a fortunate position to be able to help young people by coaching, teaching and singing. The freedom, the availability, the talents to be able to do this are amazing blessings. There are so many other little opportunities to help. Walking through the grocery store, someone drops a can of tuna. Pulling up to a stop light, someone else wants to pull into traffic from a side street. Few things match the sensation of taking advantage of an opportunity to help someone in need.
