#ThankfulActs Challenge: Send a Thanksgiving Card

Thanksgiving is next week, and my blogging about #ThankfulActs will soon be replaced with blogging about #LightTheWorld.  I definitely think that preparing a thankful heart, and acting upon that thankfulness, segues nicely into daily acts of service in December.  

Today's challenge is to take the time to send a card of Thanksgiving to someone (or more than one someone!)  Unfortunately, we can't always be in the physical presence of friends and family, but a card in the mailbox can let them know we are thinking of them.  

I need to buy some postage stamps, but I'll be mailing out some cards as soon as they are stamped.

It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall.  This week I noticed the following:

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
