    Thanksgiving Gratitude and Connecting with Family

    Thanksgiving Gratitude and Connecting with Family in the Onward by Club Car. It is one of my favorite days of the year!  Thanksgiving!  A day that I treasure every year because it is time spent with family and enjoying a delicious feast together.

    This is our first year to have Thanksgiving as residents of Berea!  As you know we moved here six months ago to be closer to family and it has been the best six months ever.  We are so thankful that we have the opportunity to spend time together. We are also thankful for our Onward by Club Car. It has been a great vehicle for family togetherness.

    As you know our house is very close to my parents' house.  In fact we are only separated by a golf course.  We live on the #2 fairway and they live on #5 fairway.  Not only do we golf and use the Onward for that we also use the Onward to drive to visit my parents!  We can be there within minutes and best of all we don't even have to get in a car.  We have used the Onward to go creeking and had loads of fun during fall break.

    Today we used the Onward to deliver our "precious cargo" aka our Thanksgiving Turkey.  The Onward has been the perfect avenue for conning with our family.  My son is always willing to jump on and head out with me for an adventure and that is saying a lot (if you have a teenager I am sure you understand ;-).

    For the month of November I have personally been reflecting daily on gratitude.  By focusing on gratitude it helps us to see what is there instead of what isn't.  It has been a really positive experience for me.

    grat·i·tude
    ˈɡradəˌt(y)o͞od/
    noun
    1. the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
       "The happiness of life is made up of little things - a smile, a helping hand, a caring heart, a word of praise, a moment of shared laughter. We are most alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures." -Thornton Wilder

    We shared this free 30 Days of Thanks printable on the blog and I have been filling it in each day of the month. As the month s coming to and end I can say that by focusing on gratitude it has helped reduce my stress during what could be one of the more stressful seasons of the year.

    We also have five free printables on the blog that I printed off that I have hung in my closet.  Everyday I take time to be thankful and focus on the positives in my life. Download your Thanksgiving quotes by clicking the image below.

    At Thanksgiving, I reflect with gratitude on the many blessings I have enjoyed over the year, including a loving family, our new home, and plentiful food. It is also a time for me to be grateful for new things in my life, in particular, our Onward. We have a short video we shared on Facebook too!

    I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving filled with friends and family. What Thanksgiving Gratitude do you have to celebrate this year?

      Great printables! Now that my kids are a bit older I have enjoyed using printables like these to create some great memories and teachable moments. Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you had a great day with your family.

      I love the 30-day Thanksgiving printable. I've been doing a 30-day Instagram #GiveThanks2017 challenge where I post a picture of people, places or things I am grateful for, even the little things. However, I want to record my list down on paper.

      My stepdaughter would love an Onward lol. She's almost 12 and I don't know what it is, but she LOVES golf carts lol.

      I love your 30 days of giving thanks - we try to do that everyday. I'm a three-time cancer survivor, so very important to me to remember to have gratitude everyday.

      It's not only during Thanksgiving that we are reminded to be grateful for all the things we have and for those that are on their way. But this is a good time to spend time together with the family and count all our blessings. It's the holiday season and what better way to celebrate than having delicious food. 🙂

      I love your printables. I am glad I found them so I can save them for next year. So important to be thankful and appreciate your blessings. Your turkey looks delicious too. I need to get a container like that to take the Turkey to my family next year.

      It's amazing sometimes how an extra vehicle can help on the holidays. I bet that was a godsend. Gratitude is probably the most important attitude. We try to find something to be grateful for everyday, but it isn't bad to take extra care on the holidays.
