*make a thankful tree out of real branches, secure in a container,
and attach paper leaves that you and your family have written (or drawn)
things you are thankful for.

*like our tipster Amy, draw a chalk or pencil tree somewhere in your house
(you could even use lipstick on a little-used mirror) and attach leaves
of thankfulness.
*dig through magazines and find pictures of what you are thankful
for, then make a window collage with all of them.
*start a gratitude journal.
*give some of the material things that you are glad you have, to someone
who doesn't have them.
*ABSOLUTELY NO YELLING DURING THE PREPARING AND
TRAVELING PERIODS. THAT WILL MOST CERTAINLY
MAKE ALL THINGS AROUND YOU UNGRATEFUL!

This week as we all prepare for our own celebrations of gratitude, be grateful for all that you have, even the bad stuff. Tell those who need to hear it that you love them, and you are thankful for them in your life.

we made a thankful tree last year. i forgot about it this year!
I am grateful for seeing 2 of my long distance daughters and their
families in the last 1 1/2 months. And very grateful I don't have to cook this year as we are spending it at Cannon Beach. Yummy crab and great long walks.
