The Power of Writing: Kent State Professor Studies Benefits of Writing Letters of Gratitude
Research shows writing letters of gratitude increases happiness and life satisfaction, decreases depressive symptoms
Steve Toepfer, associate professor in Human Development and Family Studies at Kent State University at Salem, says he has always been interested in the power of writing. In 2007, he created an assignment in his Building Family Strength class intended to show his students that being kind to others has psychological benefits. He decided to measure these benefits in a pilot study where participants wrote letters of gratitude to determine if there are benefits in terms of well-being for the authors of the letters.

"We are always exploring methods which can improve health, but no one ever looked at a series of letters to see if it benefits the author's well-being," Toepfer said. "We know people who receive letters of gratitude benefit, but what about the authors? Will you feel better by writing letters of gratitude? Are multiple letters better than a single composition? That's what we examined here."
Toepfer's latest research builds upon his previous study with a much broader sample, and those research findings are available online and will appear in the next issue of the Journal of Happiness Studies, an interdisciplinary journal devoted to the scientific understanding of subjective well-being. Toepfer co-authored the paper titled "Letters of Gratitude: Further Evidence for Author Benefits" with Kelly Cichy, assistant professor in Human Development and Family Studies at the university's Kent campus, and Patti Peters, lead data analyst in the Research and Evaluation Bureau at Kent State.
The study examined the effects of writing letters of gratitude on three primary qualities of well-being: happiness (positive affect), life satisfaction (cognitive evaluation) and depression (negative affect). Gratitude also was assessed. A sample of 219 undergraduate students who were relatively happy was recruited by the university's Kent, Salem and Stark campuses to participate in the study. Study participants, who ranged in age from 18 to 65 with a mean age of 25.7, filled out a battery of questionnaires about their well-being, and then they returned to the research lab three more times about a week apart. The experimental group wrote a letter of gratitude each time while the control group did not. Both groups filled out questionnaires at each visit.
"The letter writers were instructed to write a letter of gratitude to anyone they wanted, however, the letter couldn't be trivial and it couldn't be a 'thank you' note for a gift or 'thanks for saying hello to me this morning,'" Toepfer explained. "The participants had to write about something that was important to them."
"As they wrote, up to three letters, results showed increasing benefits," Toepfer continued. "The more letter writing people did, the more they improved significantly on happiness and life satisfaction. The new and potentially important finding is that depressive symptoms decreased. By writing these letters – 15 to 20 minutes each, once a week for three weeks to different people – well-being increased significantly."
For the group that did not write letters but filled out the questionnaires, their well-being did not change.
"What we come away from this study is that if you are looking to increase your well-being through intentional activities, take 15 minutes three times over three weeks and write letters of gratitude to someone," Toepfer said. "You'll feel better on those three variables. There is a cumulative effect, too. If you write over time, you'll feel happier, you'll feel more satisfied, and if you're suffering from depressive symptoms, your symptoms will decrease."
Toepfer said people have a store of gratitude that they carry with them all the time, and by simply using it, they can improve their well-being in significant ways.
"We have this powerful resource we're carrying with us, but we need to tap into it in order to let it work for us," he said.
Data analysis continues as the project also examined the influence of writing letters of gratitude on family characteristics. Preliminary results indicate that writing such letters improves perceived family bonds and decreases perceived criticism from the family in the author.

It's a fancy word for the type of tree. It all comes down to the pattern, lines, swirls and overall character of the tree's natural grain and whether it fits the "room's character" where the floor will reside.?
Select is the most uniform plank and has the smallest knots and the longest average length. Natural has some color variation, mineral coloring and small pin knots. And for old-schoolers, there's Rustic with large knots and the most color variation.

EARLY LEARNING BRANCH OVERVIEWA growing body of research shows that the first years in a child's life are the foundation for school success. Actions taken before children enter kindergarten affect their abilities to thrive during the elementary school years and beyond. The Early Learning Branch of MSDE's Division Early Childhood Development (DECD) oversees the following early childhood programs and initiatives, which promote best practices in early pedagogy and support Maryland's school reform efforts to help ensure that all of Maryland's youngest citizens will be successful in school and in life.Click here for the 2012-2013 School Readiness Report.Click on the links below for program-specific information.
NEW! The MSDE Division of Early Childhood Development has completed the new Social Foundations Framework. This will replace the Personal Social Domain found in the MMSR Framework. Click here to view the standards.
Maryland Model for School ReadinessEnhancing School Readiness for all Children in MarylandThe Maryland Model for School Readiness (MMSR) is a research-based assessment and instructional system designed to provide teachers, families, and the early childhood community with a common understanding of what children know and are able to do upon entering kindergarten. All kindergarten children are assessed in the fall of their kindergarten year to determine their level of readiness across seven domains. This assessment reflects the ability of each child to demonstrate skills, knowledge, behaviors, and interests that are indicators of future school success. The Early Learning Office coordinates and monitors the implementation of the MMSR at the local school level, provides professional development and technical assistance to the early childhood community, and analyzes and publishes the MMSR assessment results.Click here for an MMSR School Readiness PowerPoint presentation.Public Prekindergarten/Kindergarten ProgramsMaryland's prekindergarten program (Pre-K) is a state-funded program for four year-old children who are from families that are economically disadvantaged or homeless. The over-all goal of the Pre-K program is to provide learning experiences that help children develop and maintain the basic skills necessary to be successful in school. The Early Learning Branch monitors and helps coordinate the local school system Pre-K Program and provides support for public pre-K initiatives.
Maryland's public schools provide a full day kindergarten program for children who are 5 years of age on or before September 1st of the year in which the child enrolls in school.

Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and was previously known as juvenile diabetes. Only 5% of people with diabetes have this form of the disease.
In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. With the help of insulin therapy and other treatments, even young children can learn to manage their condition and live long, healthy lives.
Exercise & Type 1 Diabetes
With type 1, it's very important to balance your insulin doses with the food you eat and the activity that you do.
For Parents & Kids
Diabetes is a disease that affects the whole family, especially when a child is diagnosed.

The following article describes the functions and usage of the software recovery mechanism contained on your hard drive:
This new form of recovery allows the user to restore the preloaded operating system and software on the machine back to the original out of factory condition. This can be useful if the machine is encountering problems that can not be resolved (i.e unrecoverable software errors) by any other means. Because the recovery partition is the only means of recovery that came with the machine it is not recommended that you remove the data within the service partition or delete the partition to reclaim the additional hard drive space. In the off chance that the hard drive fails, a replacement drive and a CD with the preload recovery image may be obtained by contacting the Support Center.
Prior to performing a software recovery, Lenovo recommends returning your system to it's original factory configuration by removing all hardware that has been added to your system.
When the system first starts, the following message will be displayed on a blank screen:
To Start the Product Recovery program, press F11
This message will stay on the screen for approximately 2 seconds, and it will be there every time the machine is started from a powered off state. If the F11 key is pressed while the message is displayed, then the system will enter the Service partition.
Note:If the system is a Microsoft Windows 2000 / Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 "Choose and Recover" system, a screen will be displayed before the main Recovery Utilities screen: Machines with a single operating system preload will only display a single operating system restore option.
Windows 2000: Recover Windows 2000, or change youroperating system to Windows 2000
Windows NT 4.0: Recover Windows NT 4.0, or change youroperating system to Windows NT 4.0
The above selection does not apply to all systems.
At the main menu, something much like the following three options will be displayed.
When a "Full recovery" or a "Partial recovery" is selected, the user will have to confirm that they want to restore the preload and proceed. If the user answers Yes, then THE ENTIRE HARD DRIVE WILL BE FORMATTED. ALL USER DATA WILL BE LOST, and the system will be restored to the original out of factory condition.
An additional undocumented feature added to the User Interface is the ability to drop directly out to a DOS prompt. Pressing F3 (there is no prompt for this) will exit the recovery utility and go to a DOS prompt. Pressing Esc will reboot the system.
When "System utilities" is selected a menu similar to the following will be displayed.
The Utilities screen allows the user to create their emergency repair diskette. This diskette can be used to restore the Master Boot record. From this option the user can proactively create a diskette which can be used in the event that the Master Boot Record is altered and they no longer see the F11 prompt on bootup. Lenovo also includes a DOS based utility in the C:\IBMTOOLS directory that will do the same thing called RRDISK.BAT. If the user executes this function they will see the following message:
Use this utility to create a Recovery Repair diskette. If themessage "To start the IBM Product Recovery program, press F11"is not displayed when you start your computer, you might be ableto restore access to the IBM Product Recovery program on the harddrive by using this diskette.
To create a Recovery Repair diskette, insert a blank diskette intodiskette drive A, and press any key.
After inserting the diskette and pressing a key, LOADDSKF.EXE will create a diskette from the file RRDISK.DSK. The user will then see the message:
The diskette has been created. Label the diskette "RecoveryRepair diskette," and store it in a safe place.
To run the Recovery Repair diskette, insert it into diskettedrive A, and restart the computer.
The user will be returned to the Recovery User Interface.
Upon booting from the diskette, the user will see the message:
This diskette will attempt to restore access to the IBM ProductRecovery program on the hard disk
Press any key to continue
After pressing a key the Autoexec will run "a:\bmgr.exe /Fboot.bin /Mbgr%CC%.scr /s" with CC being the country code. If the program runs successfully, the following message will be displayed:
Access to the IBM Product Recovery program has beenrestored. Remove the diskette from the drive, and pressCtrl+Alt+Delete to restart the computer.
If the program did not run successfully (user has deleted the partition with the label IBM_SERVICE) the user will see the message:
The IBM Product Recovery program could not be found onyour hard drive. Contact the IBM Personal Systems IBM Support Centerfor information about obtaining and IBM Product Recovery CDfor your computer.
One other item of interest on this diskette is the MENUcc.SCR or BMGR.SCR file. Within this file are the lines:
<PROMPT1=To Start the IBM Product Recovery program, press F11><Wait=40><KEY1=F11>
This could be useful to hide the "To Start the Product Recovery program, press F11" message from the end user. You could change the prompt to a blank or a dot, or you could change the wait= to be very short so that the message can't be read and the key can't be pressed. Rules for these values:
The text of a valid MENUcc.SCR or BMGR.SCR file is displayed above. All spaces following <PROMPT=" are significant.
