Giving Thanks
November 2015 Newsletter
This month is all about remembering the good in our lives and being thankful for what we currently have before we spend December accumulating even more. While saying that we are thankful is beneficial, it is more meaningful if we actually show our gratitude. Here are some fun ways to express your appreciation to your family and friends:
Pay for the coffee of the person behind you in line
Volunteer your time in the community
Handwrite and mail an actual letter
Bake treats and give them away
Take someone to lunch or dinner
Give flowers or candy
Remember that we all have something and/or someone to be thankful for and I encourage you to share that appreciation in your own special way.
