be thankful every day - not just in November!

This Starfish is going to be a bit different than normal... My poor puppy Josie, who we have had since I was in 8th grade, is not doing very well so I was up til 4am with her and had to leave the house by 6:30 to make it to work on time!  She is going to be missed dearly when she is gone.  I am thankful for her.  She has been my best buddy for 12 years.

You know the thing people are doing on facebook... the "I'm thankful for...." every day of November?  While I think that is great and all, I think it's important to remember what we are thankful for EVERY day of the year.  Back in August, I started keeping a "grateful journal."  Every day, I write down something I am grateful for.  Just one thing. Usually it is really simple, but it really makes me think every day.  If you have a hard time just slowing down and smelling the roses, try my method and see if it helps you like it has helped me!

With Thanksgiving just a few days away, try to remember what it is really all about.  There is so much hustle and bustle getting ready for Christmas that sometimes I think people forget to enjoy Thanksgiving.  And don't forget to eat lots of turkey!

Today's Starfish

I have been dropped off at work a few times in the last month or so and today was one of those days.  My friend/co-worker has been kind enough to take me home after work on those days.  Today I really needed to get away from the office during lunch, but I didn't have my car.  Kim graciously let me borrow her car.  While I was out, I took it through the car wash and wiped down the dash and doors for her.  She was sure surprised when we got in her car after work.  Thanks, Kim, for driving me home when I have no car at work!!!!! :)
