Day 155 of Thanksgiving....

155/210

Today I am so very Thankful for Community!! Last night I had the wonderful opportunity to see a part of our community at it's best when we attended the annual Festival of Trees. This is a fundraising event put on by a local group, The Palmetto Health Foundation. What an awesome collaboration of talent this was. The convention center was beautifully decorated by Christmas Trees and other decorations created and donated by the community. All of these items are auctioned off to raise money for health care in our community. During the event pictures of beautiful children who have been saved through treatment at Palmetto Health Children's Hospital flashed on giant screens. What better way to begin the holiday celebration and what a joy to see the inspiring stories of these miracles! Community is truly an awesome thing when it works!!

Days

1/364 For years I worked in an office at a desk and one of the company supplied tools was a desk calendar. It was the kind with one page for each day and at the end of the day, that page would be torn off. In the bottom right corner of the page were two numbers with a slash between them. I was fascinated with these numbers - they represented the numerical place that day held in the 365 days of the year. Simple math but awesome to me. For the purpose of this blog I will do my best to use that representation to note 365 Days of Thanksgiving. I have tried this many times in journals but have always failed and let it fall by the wayside. I am hoping by creating this blog and posting it on FaceBook that I will have the organization and forethought to keep it going. I also hope this practice will allow me to keep things in perspective and realize the true joy in life and focus on that each and every day. So hear goes.....
