We’re taking a little blog break to celebrate Thanksgiving with our friends and families. The store will be closed from Wednesday, November 25 to Friday, November 27. We’ll be open Saturday, November 28 from 10:00 A.M. until 6:00 P.M.
Know that we’re so thankful for all of you, our dear friends and loyal customers. Here’s a lovely little poem by Joanna Fuchs for you:
Thanksgiving is the appointed time
for focusing on the good in our lives.
In each of our days,
we can find small blessings,
but too often we overlook them,
choosing instead to spend our time
paying attention to problems.
We give our energy
to those who cause us trouble
instead of those who bring peace.
Starting now,
let’s be on the lookout
for the bits of pleasure in each hour,
and appreciate the people who
bring love and light to everyone
who is blessed to know them.
You are one of those people.
On Thanksgiving,
I’m thankful for you.
Happy Thanksgiving!
By Joanna Fuchs
