Thankful Journals

November is such a wonderful time of year.  I love how it easily lends itself to reflecting on your blessings.  I've tried to instill an attitude of gratitude in my boys, but that takes a bit of work.  Each day in November we take turns saying what we're thankful for that day (something we should be doing every day of the year).   In year's past, we've written our ideas on leaves and made a Thankful Tree.  I've loved doing this and will probably do it again in the years to come, but I wanted to add a little bit more.


 Last year I saw this darling idea from Cat over at Caterinas Creative Corner.  She wrote down what her family was thankful for on brown paper then framed it and put the word Grateful (I believe she used vinyl) on the glass.  I love when beautiful home decor can be meaningful!

So in order to incorporate all these ideas, I decided a Thankful Journal would be helpful this year.  The journals have enough pages that we can use them from year to year.  It will be fun to pull the journals out each November and read through our thankful lists from years past.  In the past when we've done the Thankful Tree I've just thrown  the leaves away after Thanksgiving.  The journals will be a more permanent place to keep our thoughts, they'll help in making our list for Cat's cute Grateful frame, and we can still add our thankful ideas to leaves for a tree.


Our journals are very simple.  You can be as fancy or plain as you like.  Here's what I did.  I bought these cute journals (they're plain brown on the front when you buy them and only $1) from Sierra's.  I love going to Sierra's when I visit my parents in Idaho.  They are closing their store there (sniff, sniff), so I'm going to stock up on them next time I go.  I bought the felt turkeys at Michael's and used my Martha Stewart alphabet stamp set to put the lettering on the front.  I used stickers to put the year at the top of the page inside.  Simple, simple.  We'll fill up as many pages as we need this year and then put them away until next year.  Happy journaling.

Jordan Retro 12 Black Gold, If possible have a friend drop you off near the corner of Brogers Creek and Wattamolla Roads or find a safe location to park off the verge of a nearby road and walk to the track head. Best time to go: Go mid week to avoid the crowds. Also stay clear of sunrise and sunset not only will you be walking in the dark in one direction, which can be dangerous, especially if cloud or fog descends, but the track is often busy at that time with Gen Y looking for that attention seeking shot to entice followers on social media.

    Apparently learning little from what she went through before Kathleen's first marriage, Rose threatened to cut her daughter off without a cent if she went through with her intended second marriage, to soon to be divorced 8th Earl Fitzwilliam, another Protestant, whom she'd met in the London social scene. Kathleen by the spunky nickname "Kick" Fitzwilliam were on route to the French Riviera when their plane went down in 1948. She was 28. {tag: Yeezy Cream White Size 6}

    "But I am sure it does not reflect on the community in Huntsville. Jordan Retro 3 Black Varsity Red Cement Grey, Valuable Lessons Learned From Living on a FarmWhen I was nine years old, my parents moved from a suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to a farm in the southeastern part of the state. Having spent my whole life growing up in the city, it was the beginning of new experiences for my oldest sister, just born sister, and me. As I look back on my youth and the time spent on the farm, I realize now that I learned valuable lessons in life.

  2. Insurance is only of use if it pays out when you need it. And the trouble with travel insurance in particular is that there are many reasons some of them counterintuitive and unexpected why your claim might fail. Most of them will be buried in the small print it's worth reading this before you buy the policy, rather than as you are trying to make a claim. Cheap Real YeezysTo obtain results for the primary objective, we first must obtain results for minor objective 1.The first minor objective is to establish sub periods by using the GARCH (1,1) volatility model to coincide with the financial crisis. The illustrated volatility graph identifies four break points; Panel A (January 2001 to June 2013 Whole period); Panel B (January 2001 to September 2008 pre financial crisis); Panel C (September 2008 to March 2009 during financial crisis); Panel D (March 2009 to August 2011 post financial crisis/pre debt crisis); and Panel E (August 2011 to June 2013 during debt crisis). Once sub periods are established, we are able to obtain results for the primary objective and minor objective two.The primary objective is to compare Michael Kors Outlet Store the financial performance for both conventional and SRI indices, for the whole period and sub periods. This model is later used in an optimisation study to find the shapes of bag which minimise the cost of materials (reinforcement, fabric, and ballast) per unit of energy stored. Circumferential reinforcement, hanging masses from the inside of the bag (which it was hoped would lower the total cost) and fill level are all included as variables in the optimisation, and it is found that for reasonable materials costs an Energy Bag could cost less than 10,000/MWh when anchored at 500m. This compares favourably with all other methods of large scale energy storage.
