Thanksgiving! Only 30 days away! Hmmm...29 - I forgot to post this last night. ::snort:: {simply no TELLING what I have in draft}Years ago I became bothered by the rush THROUGH Thanksgiving and decided to slow down and focus on being Thankful and the THANKSGIVING holiday.
We begin in October. Our Thanksgiving tree just arrived - and I'll share that later....but for NOW - look what I found. You can read more about this here. This graphic and "challenge" is hosted by Two Little Vikings. I am so excited to find a great graphic to help slow the focus of the holidays.
Here's an excerpt from the blog: This challenge is not meant to be difficult or complicated. Simply make a list (written or mental) of thirty people in your life that make your daily walk easier: friends, family, those that have made you smile when your day is somewhat blue.
Then, resolve that every day from today until (Thanksgiving) Day you will send a note (either snail mail, hand-delivered, or electronically) to one of those folks.
I love the simplicity and focus of this challenge. Often the "leaves" on our Thankful Tree are people - and I like the reminder to TELL them that we are thankful for their presence in our life.

De'Etta - thank you so much for joining us! I'm glad you are sharing the desire to slow down and be more consciously thankful this season. We have so much and we need to be reminded of that - and reminded to share those blessings as well! I hope this next few weeks are a blessing to you!
I love this idea! Thanks for sharing. I'm heading over to the website and signing up.
Thank you! :-)
What a great idea. I love sending cards! I think we will start on this when we have school today...hehehe...it has been a slow start!
Thanks for sharing this idea De'Etta!
I'm not sure I know 30 people, maybe I'll join closer to Thanksgiving. lol
I like this idea. We may be doing this challenge.

Lisa - broaden your horizons.....give a card to your pastor, the mail man, the dentist, the doctor, the grocer, the newspaper man, the usher at church.....LOL
We may not hit 30 cards but we'll hit more than we would have without the challenge.
Off to send an email.
VERY KEWL! I love it. I've started to post some ideas on my blog about ways to make Christmas less stressful, but I in no way want people think I'm rushing past Thanksgiving so I think I'll sign up for this and make a public note about that. YOu ordered a tree this year? I always thought you made one...
Please share about the Thanksgiving Tree!
Cindy - I've done both - where the tree comes from doesn't really matter to us....we've done bulletin boards, walls, used a real branch - all sorts of things.
Michelle - I will. I'm focusing on carving our pumpkins at this point...but the tree will be up by the end of the weekend and I'll share.
