Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. William Arthur Ward

Good morning!  As we roll into November and a month that celebrates giving thanks, many of your Good Mornings message will be challenges and inspirations to encourage you on the journey of expressing gratitude.
 

©         Choose a different friend or family member each day and send them an e-card. There are many free great Thanksgiving e-cards available ... check out http://www.marlo.com/thanksgv.htm or www.hallmark.com

©         Purchase some blank greeting cards (or make your own) and drop one off at those in your community who you are thankful for. It is rare to get a Thanksgiving card, so this is a great way to make someone's day!

©          Send a bouquet of thanks: Choose one person who has greatly impacted you or whom you are thankful for this year. Send a special bouquet. This year, I have selected a veterinarian who greatly helped our family through a difficult period. He was a doctor I had never known before this year, but I want him and his staff to know that I will never forget their kindness.

©         If you go to the web site at www.letssaythanks.com
you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services. It is FREE and it only takes a second.

Your Turn: Choose one of the above ways to "say Thanks" this month and add it to your to-do list. When we give thanks and realize our blessings, we enrich our lives.

Affirmation: I always have enough time to count my blessings.
