This is a picture of a cornucopia---a horn of plenty.  This symbol  is associated with Thanksgiving, but originated in Greek Mythology, and we'll talk about that after the break.  We all have plenty to be thankful for.  I am thankful for the love of my family and friends, my good health, and also for having the opportunity to work with so many wonderful students!  Take some time to think about what you are thankful for.  Make a list.  You might be surprised to see how rich you really are!
