A few years ago, my husband came up with an idea of recognizing someone in his past, who has had an impact upon his life. I adopted the custom - and around this time each year I try to let someone know how much they have impacted me; either with a note, a phone call, or sometimes a gift. Today, I am sending a thank you note with a Starbucks card enclosed in appreciation of a person's kindness, and we are writing a check for a donation, in memory of someone special.
I plan to publish lots of posts about giving and gifts in December! I am particularly excited for what I have scheduled for December 15th: a one-day opportunity for bloggers to win a truly helpful prize! Be sure to visit here that day, and enter to win! Even if you are not a blogger, a story will accompany the sweepstake, which I hope you will enjoy.
I am thankful for this recent sunrise, so I'm giving you a glimpse of it in my photograph today:
Happy weekend!

Nice shot of the beginning of a new day.
ReplyDeleteThanks - it was so pretty, I went back inside for the camera.
DeleteLove that blazing sunrise - and the idea of letting people know just what they mean to you. What a brilliant initiative.
ReplyDeleteMy husband gets the credit for the idea. I just copied him on this one!
DeleteWhat a wonderful concept for both November and December. The sun has yet to rise here so I am taking warmth from yours.
ReplyDeleteLess than a month, and the days will start to get longer again! Today has turned into a beautiful clear blue sky day here - with sparkles everywhere coming off the snow.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea Susan! I might have to incorporate this into my holiday traditions.
