Let's spread thankfulness, gratitude, appreciation, & kindness. Don't spread racism, hate, lies, or bad thoughts on others. We don't need any more fighting or death or darkness. Take the time to be thankful, genuinely. Don't do it to do it. Go out of your way to be grateful or do something kind. Lord knows the world needs more love.
Any plans for today? This is my first Thanksgiving away from my family (they are visiting my sister up in Berkeley). I will be spending the day with my boyfriend's family. Should be interesting. Now time to prep this vegetarian bake! :]
What are you thankful for? Anything from this list? What are your Thanksgiving plans? Does your family have any special traditions?
That's it from me on the blog today. :]
I'll be active on social media such as:

Precisely. Enjoy & be thankful for all we have. :]
DeleteI wish Thanksgiving was celebrated everywhere, it's such a great time being able to be with everyone you love. And great list of things to be thankful for! It's the simplest things, such as oxygen, like you mentioned, that we SO easily forget to be thankful for. Honestly, I would have never thought of that as something to write down for something I am thankful for, only because it's something that comes so natural for us, to the point where I forget about it. Yet, we wouldn't be living without it! Love how you added that one on there. :)
ReplyDelete- MeYouandHayleyLarue.com
I agree. It's a wholesome day (obviously not Black Friday). We tend to take those little things for granted, like oxygen, when some others can't breathe on their own. Thanks for reading, Hayley! :]
DeleteWhat a wonderful post! You're 100% right, we need to be thankful and spread more gratitude day-to-day rather than focus on the bad.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful holiday!

Right on, Sorcha. Day-to-day would definitely be ideal. :]

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post. We all need to write a list of 50 things we're grateful for, just to make some people realise how much abundance they have in their life! We really don't know how lucky we are :)
