Be Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving
from Bellingham Daily Photo!
Whether you celebrate a traditional American Thanksgiving or not, it's valuable to have a day set aside to be thankful for the blessings in your life. This year, we did a Thanksgiving tree. Family members write what they're thankful for on a paper leaf and attach it to the tree, and when you're done you not only have a pretty centerpiece for the table, but a physical reminder of how much you have to be thankful for. Among our blessings: friends and family, consciousness, food, water, and shelter... oh yes, and the family dog. What are you thankful for?

  2. Obviously, I'm not fully awake! I do have so many things to be thankful for, my four wonderful children, a warm home, incredible friends, plenty to eat and my wonderful dog, Sam Schnauzer!
