This month, we're continuing to explore the wonderful power of optimism! Last week, we talked about having a positive attitude and looking forward to the future. This week, let's think about how optimism helps us grow, no matter what.
Sometimes, new things can feel a little tricky, or we might even make a mistake. But when we approach these moments with optimism, we remember that every challenge is an opportunity to learn something new and get even stronger! An optimistic mindset helps us see that it's okay not to be perfect and that trying our best is what truly matters.
Please read below to find out what happened this week as well as upcoming events.
Have a lovely weekend!
