GFTW 47: Feliz Semana de Accion de Gracias!
And simply said, I'm just feeling thankful for having all this in my life right now. Having my family, friends, and community all healthy and together. And so this is one of those weeks were I just want to sit back, enjoy the ride, and take in all that I'm thankful for.
So speaking of taking it all in, here's what I've got for my Goals for the Week:
Mom: Laminate these placemats they made, and let them help make the dressing or other food. Tell them each one (or more) thing I'm thankful for with them
Daughter: Make my mom a big cupcake, cards and think of a unique lil' gift for her. Tell her one (or more) thing I'm thankful for her.
Sister: Have kids make cupcakes, and tell her one thing (or more) I'm thankful for.
(are ya sensing a trend yet...;-)
Friend: Celebrate my friends, old and new. Each day tell one friend (or more) something I'm thankful for
Wife: Be a dutiful assistant cook on T-day, support him supporting his family, and be sure to tell him one thing (or more) I'm thankful for
Life: Each morning before I get out of bed, give myself a few minutes to visualize how I want my day to be. Start from the end of the day and work backwards. What do I want to do? How do I want to feel? How will I best take in each moment?
As always, I write these down on a bookmark I keep in my organizer and attempt to review it each morning as I chug my coffee. So that's my focus for me this week. Now...I'd LOVE to hear what you've got tee'd up for this week! Are you cooking? Going away? Going to play? Talk to me, talk to me!;-)

A friend of ours from grad school invited my hubs and I to join him, his SO, and his parents and sister for Thanksgiving. I'm sure I'll make at least one thing to bring.
Happy Thanksgiving and oh yea, I am thankful for your great blog!

here is what's on my radar...
daughter: be a good kitchen assistant to my mom on T-day
relative: take the time to chat with each relative on T-day. Sometimes there's so much going on, I don't realize til the next day that I missed saying more then 'hello' to someone
athlete: my off-season starts one week from today, so I need to start thinking about some good projects and activities to keep my mind off the fact that I won't be swimming/biking/running for 2-3 weeks
overall health/well-being: Sort of copying yours here... work on visualizing what I want to get out of each day and how I want things to go, AND not sweat the small stuff when things don't go as planne... Sort of part of an overall goal to work on reducing stress/anxiety in my life.
oooh, Anne-Marie- good one/reminder in making a conscious point to check in and talk w/each relative on T-day!
thx;-)
In addition, we are visiting my folks this week, I'm cooking T-day dinner and I have to finish an online course by tomorrow. I'm nowhere near finished, so the pressure is ON!
Have a great week and Happy Thanksgiving if I don't get to come back before then!
-run tomorrow EARLY in order to my run it

YOGA Friday to restore myself from the craziness of work
that's the plan and I am sticking to it...
