Social Media Appreciation Day

Remember when we had to call everyone on Thanksgiving and the list would be so long and everyone would be getting hungry and there would always be someone who you wanted to call but didn't because there just wasn't enough time? Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a little (not really) but there were only so many people we could get in touch with. I usually only got to the closest family members. We wouldn't get to see everyone else's Thanksgiving table right away unless we went around visiting. Pictures would come later - if at all.

How times have changed.

Russell and Me on the Thanksgiving Day Drive

I'm feeling grateful to be able to stay in touch with so many people! Along with having a great time posting, I got a firsthand view into the homes of so many friends over the holiday. Texts, pictures, videos, funny stories, laughter... all made Thanksgiving even bigger. 

All of the special people in my extended family and all of the people I've met and worked with over the years don't always know how much they mean to me. Projects change, people get busy, time slips by and sometimes I think of people that I haven't seen in years and wonder how they're doing. Now they're just a click away. That's great!

This week I'm celebrating the gift of staying connected with family, old friends and new friends from all over the world thanks to social media. Here's to a week filled with Blessings...

TURKEY DAY!

:)

Sometimes, on Thanksgiving, we go around the table and everyone takes turns saying what they are grateful for. I love that part. That, and the pie.

Here's wishing everyone a very happy, healthy and safe holiday with a lot of laughter and warmth. Happy Thanksgiving!

Namaste,

#TheRightSide

I was so excited about the prospect of turning off the news and getting back to enjoying nature and the seasons this week.

I thought that getting back to meditation would be a great thing to blog about this time around.

It seems that there is going to be quite a lot of news watching and controversy for some time to come. I would sincerely hope that, no matter WHO you voted for, we can agree on one thing:

Here's wishing we all find a path to peace and understanding.

Namaste,

Earlier this week, I mailed my ballot in.

This week's message is simple:

We've come too far not to.
