I'm genuinely thankful for each one of you. I started my blog a little over 7 months ago, and I'm amazed at how much has happened in such a small measure of time. I've learned blogging is way more fun and educational than TV. Far more dramatic than soap operas, and far funnier than sitcoms. I had no idea such a wonderful world existed until I met all of you. Thank you for opening my eyes to such a wonderful world at my fingertips. I'm thankful, and grateful, for each one of you.
- Be safe.
- Hug your family and your friends.
- Feed your faces, and watch some football.
- Tell someone you are thankful to have them in your life.
- Wear some comfy cloths on Thursday.
- If the pie crust gets too burnt... it's not the end of the world.
- Take a moment to remember how fortunate you are to be alive.
- Pull out the Christmas lights, and trim the tree.
- Be respectful others who do not celebrate the same holidays in the same way you do.
- If you've lost your gusto for the holidays, try to see it through the eyes of a child. Borrow one if you don't have one, and make some precious memories together.
- Take a nap if you want to on Thursday. Or take two.
- Don't feel guilty if you are not up to fighting the masses on Black Friday unless you really enjoy it.
- Be thankful you can shop without ever leaving the comforts of your home.
- Make something homemade to give this season.
- Say yes to whipped cream. YES, yes, Yes!
- Say thank you when the left turn lane is long, and moving slow. It could be a blessing disguised as a delay.
- Send all your unwanted fruitcakes to me. I actually love them.
- Take your unused coats to a homeless shelter or church.
- This is one way the pilgrims used pumpkins. BIG YUM
- Be thankful you were not the person who received the call at the Butterball Turkey Hotline from a woman wondering if it was OK to bathe her kids at the same time in the tub with the turkey thawing... true story.
