At work I'm in charge of holding a monthly activity for the employees in order to build up the team and work together better. We've gone to movies, went trick-or-treating for Halloween, held luncheons, you know, fun stuff at work. This month I decided to give everyone an 'All About Me" poster that I got at a local store that sells supplies for teachers. It was so funny to see everyones reactions because the posters were pretty big and were ones that pre-schoolers or 1st graders might fill out. Along with the poster I gave them a paper feather on which I wanted them to write something they are grateful for. Once a day I spotlight one employee and then take the feather and attach it to "Tom" our gratitude turkey who hangs on the back wall for all to see. It's been a lot of fun to see what the people I work with are grateful for. The responses have been great because it's a real eye opener to have a small glimpse into that persons world. Once the turkey has been completed I thought I would take a picture to post, but in the meantime, I'm going to post some things I'm grateful for. I've posted before on blessings, but will make this shorter:
-My husband! Love him to death!
-My family: They make me crazy sometimes, but I love them anyway!
-My job: I'm so thankful to have employment during this time of economic crisis
-My home: It might be small, but it's ours and a safe haven for all those who enter it
-My freedoms: We are so blessed to live where we do and in the time we do.
I know, small list, but sometimes I tend to go overboard. Now, it's your turn.....during this time of thanks giving, post a list of what you're grateful for. It's surprising how much we can think of! Have fun!

That's an awesome idea. The girls and I are going to make a tree and put leaves on the branches that list things that we are thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!
You are so creative...I love reading your blogs!
