Thanksgiving

It was almost noon when Charlotte and her family began preparing for their annual Thanksgiving feast. I can’t wait to start eating all of the yummy food! Charlotte thought. The crinkling of the turkey being roasted in the oven rang the bell in Charlotte’s ears.

As she walked past a room in the house, Charlotte…

“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all others” - Cicero. Regardless of differences in race, age, religion, socioeconomic status, and geographic location, humans remain alike: the potential for gratitude exists amongst all. The majority of people fail to realize so much exists to remain thankful for. Every individual may have something different to show thanks for and this could vary from region to region. When one thinks about what someone in a first world country…

Fall 2015, right before the thanksgiving break, fate decided to bring the terrible illness of Guillain-Barré syndrome to my mother. But, before I explain why this impacted me so hard, let me tell you how much my mother means to me. My mom and dad are divorced. I have no memories of them ever being together because of how young I was when the divorce happened. By court orders, my parents had to live within a certain radius of each other, so they could share me. I would switch households every…

Thanksgiving Grace! And I’m not just talking about the prayer before the meal!  This year, with all of its good times, is almost over. But what a great time Thanksgiving is. It’s a time to reflect on the year’s past, examine the present, and look forward to what God has in store for the future in 2018. I think God wants our attitude to be...“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” (Psalm 107:1) One all-encompassing word comes to my mind at this time...Grace!…

A Thanksgiving Gratitude List The holidays are fast approaching. In stores and on TV we are about to be inundated with visions of festive family get togethers, lovely gourmet meals and lots and lots of good cheer. And while the holidays can be a beautiful time to unwind, recharge and relax, for many of us, it can be overwhelming and downright exhausting. Especially for us artists. It can disrupt our rhythm and throw us into a minefield of career questions from well meaning family and old…

The anticipation for Thanksgiving break is over the top. The thought of home cooked meals, family, and no professors talking a student 's ear off for a week are heavenly. Of course all the classic thanksgiving things happen but there are also psychological things that go on. (Darn that psychology sneaking its way into everything, it obviously never goes on break.) Although psychology is used every minute of every day i 'm only going to talk about 5 concepts, persuasion, cognition, emotion,…

Thanksgiving is all about food and family – turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie and family time. However, preparing holiday goodies can lead to disaster - the kitchen is the setting of more fires than any other room in the house, and cooking is the leading cause of fires in the home. The American Red Cross has safety steps to use while preparing the Thanksgiving feast. • The cooks should start by not wearing loose clothing or dangling sleeves while cooking. • Check food regularly…

It was thanksgiving break I had heard my grandpa and mom talking something about being honest. I didn’t think much about it so I went back to the dining table We all laughed and had a good time.

She said she had come in to tuck me in. which seemed odd because she never did that since my 10th birthday. Right then I knew my mom was…
