Giving Thanks

Here we are on the verge of another holiday season. Time and the seasons just zip by in a blink of the eye. It is appropriate that the season begin with a recognition of our gratitude for our lives. May I suggest making a list of all the things for which you are grateful as this will put you in the mindset of gratitude. When we are grateful we are also present, helpful and happy. Funny how this all works but it does. May I also suggest that this thanksgiving we try 2 new things: first find something locally grown that you may have at your thanksgiving table and secondly find just one thing you could volunteer to do for you community. Pick something that is for just one day to start, i am sure you can find something. This is a great way of thanking your community and supporting those who live there. So start with the gratitude "list" and with this in mind you can maybe move onto that Christmas list. Happy Holidays!!
