I have so much to be Thankful for and I am sure you do too. Lately I have been paying close attention to very small things like the smell of coffee in the morning or the sound of the rain. We don't pay a lot of attention to the wonders that we can derive from our senses. Great things are all around us whether large or small and really cost us nothing more than taking the time to pay attention and enjoy. I have a cat who runs the household and his name is Baby. Baby is very independent and does things when he wants to not when I want him to. One thing he loves to do is climb up on my shoulder and sleep. I get to pet him and listen to that melodic purr of his. It is a special moment for the two of us if we stay still long enough to enjoy it. There is research that indicates that petting an animal can lower blood pressure and help with stress. I believe it. So it goes for the other things we can experience using our senses. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Going into the holidays, yes it is November, our stress level can go way up. It is not only the holidays and all they require, but from a business stand point it is the end of the fiscal year. Did we or the company make our numbers? Another event we have no control over is that in this corporate world we live in their are usually layoffs at the end of the year. How do we cope with all of this. It seems to be more than we can handle at times yet we are survivors no matter what the stress level may be. The key in my mind has always been put yourself first and take the very best care of yourself that you can. No one else will do it for you. Face your challenges with all the determination needed, but take time out to be grateful for yourself and all you have to offer. This to will pass and you will be a much better person for making yourself a priority.

There are four types of people in the world, which one are you?
-those who make things happen
-those who watch things happen
-those who wonder what happened
-those who don't know anything that happened

In the opening paragraph of the first chapter of her book “Miracles Happen“, Mary Kay Ash lists what she considered to be the four types of people that make up the world -
