This week marks a time where people around the country gather with friends and family to celebrate Thanksgiving. Aside from the homemade stuffing and cranberry sauce, let's remember the reason behind the celebration: giving thanks.
This year try to mentally (or jot down on paper-- this helps you look back on it next year) 3 specific things that you are thankful for. An additional way to give thanks for what you have is to give to someone who has less than you. Consider dropping a can off at a food drive, make a small donation to a charity of your choosing, or just do something nice for someone. It can be as simple as dropping a few coins in a meter that is about to expire. It's the small things that add up to make a big difference.

Stay Well!
As the leaves fall and that weather turns colder we can't help but to think of Cold & Flu Season. Flu shot clinics, people sneezing and hacking at the grocery store, maybe a little sniffle of your own...now is the time to boost your immune system!
A few tips:
Use the sanitary wipes that grocery stores provide to clean your shopping cart handle! A recent 20/20 report showed an alarming amount of germs and bacteria (and blood...yuk!) on grocery carts....use the ones provided or bring your own!
Emergen-C packets are great! These are the little packets that you pour into a small amount of water...they turn the water fizzy and full of flavor. You can purchase a box of them at your grocery store or health food store. They's small enough to keep a stash in your drawer at work, your car, or your purse. They provide up to 1,000mg of Vitamin C along with Vitamins B12 & 6 for energy.
Consider taking Astragalus root as a supplement. Astragalus root is a great all natural way to boost both your immune system and your energy levels. A bottle will run you under $10, and can be found at your local health food store or grocery store.
Wash your hands! A recent Good Morning America story reported that germs can live on a door handle for up to 48 hours. In the height of cold and flu season washing one's hands can't be stressed enough. You can also use the portable anti-bacterial hand gels.
Be well! And Stay Well!
