Weekly goals for 11/22/09…Feel your Blessings!

Thanksgiving 2008
Thanksgiving 2008

Hello dearies,
may we all be very thankful for the basics: a home to live in, enough food to eat, our health and the love our family and friends. What could be more bountiful than having these basics which so many people in the world aren’t blessed with having?

Perhaps we could invite a lonely neighbor to our feast, contribute food to organizations that feed the homeless, serve up Thanksgiving Day dinner at one of these charities or donate money to your favorite organization at this time of year. It would light up someone’s life and warm you inside knowing you are “spreading the wealth”, so to speak.

My goals for this week are:

Personal-
Prepare 15 holiday calendars (to be mailed out later.)
Finish decorating for the holidays.
Doctors appt on Fri Nov 27th.
Hopefully see my mom on Nov 24th.
And, of course, prepare a half-turkey/half-vegetarian meal for Thanksgiving!

Professional-

Halloween talk of pumpkins and turnips…TURNIPS???

DID YOU KNOW?

Jack-o-lanterns trace back to an old Irish tale about a man named Stingy Jack. Unable to enter Heaven because of his stingy ways and turned away by the Devil, Stingy Jack wandered the world, searching for a resting place. To light his way, Stingy Jack used a burning coal in a hollowed out turnip — hence the name “jack-o-lantern”, meaning Jack-of-the-lantern. The first jack-o-lanterns, in fact, were carved out of turnips!
