Happy Thanksgiving Eve! If you haven’t created your Thanksgiving menu or you are still looking for a few healthy options to make, check out my Thanksgiving recipe roundup I posted last week. You can get that here. These cookies would be a great dessert addition to your menu if you aren’t much of a pie lover. They are easy to throw together and no crazy unheard of ingredients needed! Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Every morning on my way to work I always catch the daily trivia question on our local radio station and this morning it was “people who do this are happier people, what do these people do?” Before it was answered correctly I had the right answer and have talked about it a few times before on the blog. Any guess?
If you guessed writing down what you are thankful for than you are a winner! People who write down what they are thankful for at least once per week are happier people. And, when we are happier we can pour more greatness into other people and life becomes sweeter. With Thanksgiving on Thursday, I challenge you all this week to sit down for just a few minutes and write down what you are thankful for. This will open your eyes to all the good you have in your life and the small negative things will seem less significant. If you want to take it a step further, do what my family and I do each Thanksgiving. Before we eat, we go around the table and tell everyone what we are thankful. It is neat to see the variety of thankfulness that goes around the table and reminds me that we all have so much to be thankful for. When I remind myself more often of what I am thankful for, I am a happier person. Its not happy people who are thankful, but thankful people who are happy.
I hope you all have an amazing, delicious, fun and relaxing Thanksgiving! Cheers to Turkey Day!
