Not Your Typical Thanksgiving Message

I saw this quote above and thought it was perfect to share on Thanksgiving. You know that I’m a big proponent of being intentional with our time, our money, and our health. But honestly, I feel like we could be incredibly wise in how we spend our time and our money and be physically healthy and fit, but we could be internally miserable because we are focusing on all everything that is wrong in our life instead of noticing the beauty and the good and being grateful for that.

Gratitude reframes our perspective.

By the way, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for being here. For your encouraging comments. For sharing this site with your friends. For using our links to purchase deals. For being part of our community on social media.

Even if you never purchase a deal through our links, just by showing up here, it makes a huge difference. Through the income made from the blog (affiliate links, sponsorship, and sidebar advertising) we’re able to give generously to causes locally and globally — including helping vulnerable children in South Africa, partnering with organizations that are fighting against human trafficking, and supporting organizations that are serving families who have children with special needs and children in foster care.

The opportunity to give generously as a result of this blog is one of the parts of what I do that I’m the most passionate about. And we wouldn’t be able to do it if it weren’t for you showing up here. So thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I hope your Thanksgiving day is special, even if life might look very different than you had planned, expected, or hoped.

P.S. We’ll be offline today spending time with our families, but we’ll be back bright and early tomorrow and will be live-blogging all the best deals all day long!
