@taci,

Enjoy the walk today and have a great time with your family. I hope Cali gets rain and soon.
I know you are glad the dental visit is OVER! Are you cooking for Thanksgiving?

Love this from Heidi Daus. ♥

Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday in the United States, and Thanksgiving 2018 occurs on Thursday, November 22. In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

Finding Joy in Meaningless Tasks

Finding joy and reason in mundane tasks can shift the flow, and make it not so bad after all.

Spending an afternoon working on the car, gardening, or even cleaning the house can be fun when we have an interest in the project. Yet, we can also find joy in the chores and tasks we don’t especially like. All we need is a change of attitude, a different approach, a little music, or some help from friends, and the tasks or responsibilities that we perceive as tedious can become a source of pleasure. ♥

Most of us tend to put off what it is that we don’t want to do. Yet, one of the best approaches to an unpleasant task or dull chore is to dive right in and be fully mindful of what it is that you are doing. You may not perceive washing the kitchen floor as enjoyable, but it can be if you view it as a loving act for both yourself and your family. Lose yourself in paying your bills, and thank the universe that you are able to receive the service you are writing that check for. Mending can become a treasure hunt to find the right button and matching thread. And, each morning, see how neatly you can make your bed and take pride in your results.

Playing your favorite music, dancing while you work, or creating a mental list of everything you are grateful for are just a few ways to turn an unexciting activity into a fun event. Ask a friend to help you clean out the basement or paint a room; provide some yummy snacks as an incentive. Look for joy in doing your mundane activities, and they’ll become a source of enjoyment rather than a tolerable duty. AMEN!

Cherie,

You are great at leaving post and I like the way you do it. 🙂 Thank you for being here.
Mom is doing alright my sister is making sure she drinks plenty of fluids. I will be talking
to her in a couple of hours I talk to my mom and kids every single day. 🙂

I hope your mother takes a little break and relax with you. The kids are alright that is what
Loaf always say. Cherie I am really doing fine I have that full physical and mammo next
week. Meanwhile I will enjoy my family and catch up on family things. Big hugs to the
kids for me. 🙂 After tomorrow the heat is on so to speak. LOL! Are you ready?

Brisk beautiful morning have a nice cup of hot tea. Enjoy 🙂
