Thanksgiving is about a week away and I'm sure you are feeling the need to give back in appreciation for all that you have. We often forget that this holiday is not only about food, but it is also about being thankful. Here are seven good ways to give back this Thanksgiving:
1. Donate canned food or a prepared meal to your local homeless shelter.
2. Do something unexpected for someone. Clean dishes after Thanksgiving dinner without being asked. Run an errand for a busy friend.
3. Drop a compliment to a friend or co-worker. A hand written note is sincere and always makes me feel good. Let someone know how much you appreciate their work, help or friendship.
4. Adopt or foster a shelter pet. I'm sure the little fur balls would be very appreciative of a new home for the holiday.
5. Volunteer your time to a local organization or business. Your time is the most precious and valuable thing you can give another person.
6. Invite a friend or neighbor over for Thanksgiving dinner if they normally spend the holiday alone.
7. Make a toast at the family dinner table. To often people take their family members for granted. Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity to let them know how much you care.
What traditions do your families have for giving thanks?
