I am trying to practice more thankfulness in my life, not just because of the season, but because it’s good for my soul.
One thing for which I am grateful is the opportunity I had this past week to contribute at the Huffington Post. You can read my article How to Deal with Stress: 5 Fun Activities to Help You Unwind here.
I offered a FREE 99 Ways to Jump for Joy Subway Art Printable Mini Poster to the Huffington Post readers which you can sign up for here.
I am also VERY thankful to my husband for taking my son clothes shopping, and for the $11 jeans they were able to find on clearance (especially since my 6’2″ son has a difficult time finding jeans in his size!).
My favorite happening this week was my lunch date with my husband at P.F. Chang’s--a rare treat made possible by a gift card my husband won in a promotion at his job!
The food was delicious, but I had to laugh at the message in my fortune cookie:
What are you thankful for this week? Leave a comment!

WOW good price on jeans! We also struggle w/ finding jeans to fit our oldest son because of his height. He is 6’1″ & skinny as they come:) Where did they find them?
He actually found them at Walmart, which is surprising, but we have had good luck at JC Penny’s. I’ve heard they have a bigger selection online but we haven’t tried that yet.
This week I am grateful for a moving Remembrance Day (Veteran’s Day) assembly at my children’s school. The trumpet music always gets me. I am also thankful to that I finished writing a draft of a new discipline policy for my school, so the committee can take a look at it.
#1thing– I’m almost packed and ready to head for TX! Whoo-Hoo!!

#3–I’m thankful that we’ve had a mild Fall
I am grateful for my healthy and happy family, enough food in the pantry, and for chocolate, without which I would have been a far grumpier person this week.
Thanks for the thorughtful and inspiring posts. I am currently doing a $100/week grocery challenge due to your Living on Less than $28K series, except we only eat unprocessed, organic foods. So far so good. Wish me luck!
I’m with you on the chocolate.
Great job on sticking to your grocery budget Elizabeth!
