Give Thanks to Those We Eat

Today is a day for giving thanks.

Today is also a day for stuffing your tummy with goodness.

Many people will be eating turkey today, baked or deep fried.  Others will be eating ham, or duck, goose or hen.

While giving thanks for all of your blessings today, take a moment to give thanks for those animals who are helping to feed us, not only on this thankful holiday, but all year long.

If you are vegetarian, you can give thanks to the vegetables you are eating.  After al, just like animals, those plants are giving their life so that you might eat.

THANK YOU, all things great and small, for filling my belly, and helping me stay strong.

Funny Friday

Thoughtful Thursday

Stop and smell the flowers.

Some things we get to do only once, and we rush by them and miss the moment that will never be repeated.

There are people in our life that we'll to busy for; stop and give them your attention.

We are rushing from here to there and miss so many things that if we stopped for a moment those things could bring a ray of sunshine to our lives.

In our haste we miss many magical moments, that if we stopped to see them they can make a big difference in our life.

Our trip on this planet is very short; invest your life in creating a life of fulfillment. Put things in prospective and don't spend your life worrying find solutions and move on.

Take the time to smell the flowers along the way, cherish your moments, your family and friends and be thankful for the things that you have attracted into you life.
