Thanksgiving, the holiday that retailers neglect and grocers LOVE! We, as shoppers, see Christmas creeping into stores, at times, even before July 4th! Aisles are taken over with Christmas merchandise even before Halloween.
As I have seen on Facebook, many friends are taking back Thanksgiving. Taking the month of November and expressing something to be thankful for each day. Can you do the same? Join in late, but still be Thankful? What are things you are thankful for? Even the little things!
11/1 ~ Presidential Fitness and our boys making an effort to improve
11/2 ~ a not rushed dinner
11/3 ~ a Saturday with not much to do out side of the home
11/4 ~ time to get part way caught up on old chores
11/5 ~ rest to begin the week
Can you list one thing each day? Consider this a challenge!
And to avoid commercialism I have avoided my "Advent Activities" post for a few days. I'll post that one later.
