I just wanted to give a 'shout out' to everyone in our community wishing all the best to the families at this thankful time of year. I try to think of 'what can I do' to make my community a better place. It isn't too difficult to find someone who may need our help these days. I am sure that each of us can look around and see someone who could benefit from a helpful hand or a cheery hello. Think of how you can make a difference. It doesn't always mean an act requiring money. It could be as simple of bringing in your neighbor's garbage cans before they blow into the street, or an offer to pick up some branches or leaves from their yard.
These random acts of kindness don't only make a lasting impression on their recipients. They make an impression on our children because our children learn by our examples. If we show kindness to others, our children will follow in our footsteps. What a wonderful lesson for us to teach our children.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving season, everyone!
