Thanksgiving is a holiday that always makes me feel good. No matter where we celebrate, or what we have for dinner, or who we dine with, there is always the giving of thanks – taking time to be mindful of the many blessings we are given daily.
Some things I’m thankful for:
- Family
- Friends
- Good health
- Safe home
- Ability to run and ride
- Beautiful places
As I am reminded of the many blessings I have, it’s time again to think about paying it forward. Since giving Tuesday is coming up this week, I’ll take this opportunity once more to share links to some of the organizations I like to give to throughout the year. Some I give to directly. Some I raise funds and awareness for by riding or running in their sponsored events. Thank you for considering giving to them or your favorites.
Lutheran Church Charities – Comfort Dogs
American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
Michael J Fox Foundation – for Parkinson’s Research
Song of the day:
Ride on!
