It's pretty likely that tomorrow you will eat more calories than you will burn. If your feeling ambitious, you're going to bundle up and head over to Hammo or Manchester for the Turkey Trot to try to put a dent into those extra calories. At least one of us at the race will be warm. The lucky guy that gets to wear the turkey costume will oh so toasty. It's a festive time of the year and we should all be thankful for many things. I could go through a long list of what I am thankful for, but many of you already know my mind. Giving thanks is not quite the same as being thankful. Giving thanks requires effort while the idea of being thankful suggest a state of mind. Instead of just being thankful, we need to act thankfully. To do this requires far more energy and more effort. How do we actively thank? It's pretty easy to do and it can change the entire mood of a place. So, take those excess calories and put them to proper use. If someone has made you a wonderful meal, roll up your sleeves and get scrubbing. When you cross the finish line, find the race director and thank him or her and then ask if you can do anything to help. If your mother drove you to the race, act thankful by doing something that will make her day easier or happier (like emptying the dishwasher). Do something... anything that shows you appreciate someone else's efforts by reciprocating with your own thoughtful actions. Thankful actions, both large and small make make everyday into Thanks-Giving.
