Day 1:  clear, crisp air and red leaves... they remind me of snowflakes falling - no 2 are alike.

This is the 2nd year I've done the Thankful Project...

The month of November often gets lost in preparation...  for planning Thanksgiving Family Dinners that are more about turkey, and spending way too much money on Christmas shopping.  But it should be used as a reminder - of all that we've been given.  Of all we hold dear.  Of all that we miss along our everyday path.  I challenge you this month - to find at least one new thing, every day, to be thankful for...  something you haven't noticed, or take for granted, something small, or something big, something meaningful - to you, or to those around you.  Search for the blessings - waiting to be discovered.  Soften your gaze at the world, and look deeper.  Recognize beauty, call her by name, and appreciate her - every time you turn a corner.  Understand someone, see it from their point of view, and give validation.  Extend your repetoir to include forgiveness and selflessness.  Be bold with your findings and share them with others.  You'll be amazed at how quickly your happiness multiplies when given the confidence of another.

Happy November, dear friends!  Can't wait to see the Beauty in your world!
