Happy Thanksgiving!...




“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have
into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos
to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast,
a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes
sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision
for tomorrow. ”
- Melodie Beattie


I have a list of links for you to explore while you are waiting
for the cook of your home to prepare the feast.  I hope you
enjoy these.  I have tested each one.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Day! I appreciate each and everyone of you!
Sending out gratitude... Val =)
