Making Thanksgiving Special
Thanksgiving is a special time of year when families and friends get together and enjoy a delicious meal and spend time with each other. We’re all so busy most of the time that making that extra effort to come together is important and doesn’t have to only include the traditional food. Here are some ideas to give your day an added boost of fun and tradition.
Participate in a turkey trot or just go for a walk and enjoy a leisurely stroll around your neighborhood or a local park.
Tune in to the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Watch the National Dog Show.
Start decorating for the holidays.
Football is another tradition, along with appetizers.
At the Thanksgiving table, let everyone say what they’re thankful for.
Thanksgiving movies are always a fun way to gather, either at home or the movie theater.
Play charades or bring out the board games.
Reminisce over family photo books.
Serve breakfast at a local soup kitchen or help deliver Thanksgiving dinners to the community.
Call relatives that may not have been able to come to your gathering and let them know you’re thinking of them.
Take an after dinner or evening stroll.
Most of all, remember to be grateful for the people in your life and for all your blessings!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

May God Bless All of America’s Veterans!
Thank you for your sacrifice, you gave your strength, your youth and time.
You did a job not many will. You deserved our respect and you do still.
Though you didn’t give your life, you were a willing soul.
Only your brothers in combat, your suffering truly know.
We love that you are here with us and honor who you are.
A grateful nation appreciates every single scar
That wrote upon the slate of you, though you were very brave.
You came back to us a hero, you are not the same.
For you have learned to bear the weight of defending freedom’s call.
But you did come back, and that is what we give thanks for most of all.
We honor you on Veteran’s Day. Thank you for your service!!!

Best Quotes Ever!
Nothing turns around a really bad day like changing your focus to being grateful for what we have instead of what we don’t. Positive emotions and reliving happy memories give us a boost like no other and certainly improve our mental health. We live in crazy times that shout out for positive rather than negative thinking. There is always something to be thankful for, even on our not-so-great days. Let’s concentrate on having an attitude of gratitude, positivity, and encouragement that we can share with others who usually need it as much as we do. Here are a few quotes from people you may or may not have heard of but might give us a new perspective after an especially difficult day.
