Happy Thanksgiving

November 23, 2009 by Vanessa Culpepper  

Agh! I am itching to write about THE most amazing opportunity that I got to participate in.  But, it’s so long, that I am going to have to find a way to tell it in a shorter version.  Not easy for me to do, I like to throw in every single tiny detail in these types of things.  Ah well,  it will just have to wait a little longer.  Maybe it will be ready by the time Thanksgiving is over, SO, I hope everyone has a safe, and wonderful holiday with their families.

I know some people out there are going through some difficult things – I think we all are.  Stay encouraged, and think of what you can be thankful for…

You might have a job you ABSOLUTELY hate, but just focus on being thankful that you at least have a job.  Millions of people out there don’t right now.  So just think of it that way :) Or, even better…

Be thankful for what you DON’T have.  And by that I mean, there are so many people out there struggling with life-threatening illnesses.  If you are not one of them, be VERY thankful for that, and your health.

I recently met someone from the Make a Wish Foundation, last week in fact.  It reminded me to shift my perspective a little bit.  A nice reminder, because actually, my younger brother once got to participate in Make a Wish as a patient.  But, that is a story for another time.

Anyways, have a wonderful holiday! Remember, always be thankful for the smaller things in life that matter as well.

:)

xoxo,

Vanessa
