Thanksgiving Priority List



This time of year tends to give us a sense of being overwhelmed.


It seems that the “To-Do” list is much longer than can possibly be managed. In recent years, I have experienced more peace and less panic. Allow me to share my PRIORITY LIST with you.

• BE GRATEFUL - No matter your circumstance, there are those among you that have more and those that have less. Let everything that does not inspire appreciation go. It has no place in your life. Notice the beauty of the world around you.

• HAVE FUN – Focus on creating memories that are about laughter, friends and awesome experiences…instead of perfection. Does anyone really care whether your house looks like it was decorated by Martha Stewart if you are too tired to enjoy their company?

• DO FOR OTHERS – The decision about who to help is insignificant. What really matters is how it makes you feel when you look outside yourself to help another. I suggest that you help someone you do not know very well. If nothing comes to mind, go to www.TheHungerSite.com. I researched it on www.Snopes.com and it is a way to give food to the less fortunate WITHOUT any money.

As the Holiday Season rushes through our lives – filled with demands that seem beyond our control – remember that money is replaceable and frequently fleeting…good family and friendships are not.

It is truly a good life...enjoy the moments!!!
