"Happy Thanks-Giving!"

Happy Thanksgiving to YOU!
You know, this is the perfect time of year to sit back and
ponder about life.
Because sometimes we get stuck in a rut. We're numb to the
routine of life. We feel that we need a CHANGE.
We need something to open our eyes to the wonder of life
again.
Today, I'd like to share a few suggestions for brightening
up your life, and bringing a little child-like magic back
into your step. Consider it my Thanksgiving gift to you.
So, randomly pick something from this list – and get to it,
right away!
- Make a list of six things you could do this evening.
Then roll a dice and let fate decide!
- Find somebody else on the Internet with the same name as
you, get in touch and try to make a new friend
- Visit Wikipedia and click the "Random Article" link on
the left hand-side. Get lost in the site for an hour,
discovering worlds you never knew existed. If the article
talks about a place nearby, drive there
- Decide to say "Yes!" to everything for a month, a week,
or even just for a night. See what doors open for you!
- Open an atlas, close your eyes, and randomly stab your
finger anywhere on the page. Decide to go there for your
next vacation
- Join an Internet dating site, and remember what it feels
like to flirt a little!
- Lookup and hook up with a few old friends from school.
- Find them at Friends Reunited, Classmates.com, or on
Facebook
- Buy an item of food from the supermarket you would never
usually purchase. Indulge!
- Send a random "Hello!" text message to the person with
the mobile/cell number one digit up and down from you
- Get to know your neighbors
- Decide to "play" today. Go to the seaside, enjoy a
little bowling, play a board-game with family!
- Be mischievous. Play a prank and don't worry about
getting caught!
- Enjoy a leisurely meal with your loved ones ... share
the preparation of the meal ... enjoy the time together
- Celebrate your loved ones by creating a family journal
of photos, notes and special memories
- Spend time walking in an inspiring natural location with
a friend you haven't seen for a while. Enjoy conversing
with your friend - listen to their insights and share some
of yours
- Go for a 20 minute power walk to clear your mind, boost
your circulation and improve your energy levels
- Buy 12 life-changing books and read one a month
- Try a completely new activity - something you haven't
done before and enjoy the adventure of learning something
new
- Sit under a tree for an hour or three and just do
nothing. Listen to the sound of nature's voice. Enjoy the
stillness of being in the moment
- Do something nice for someone you don't know. And do it
anonymously. Your feel-good factor will soar as a result of
your kindness
- Join a dance class. Go wild, have fun and enjoy the
freedom of moving to the music. Try a local Five Rhythms
class if you prefer spiritual over disco or salsa
- Spend a night star-gazing. You cannot fail to be awe-
inspired by the magical, vast universe that is out there
- Rekindle old friendships ... spend a day catching up and
enjoying the company of old friends
- Go out to the nearest city with the intention of making
one new friend. Strike up random conversations, visit
coffee shops and libraries, and see where the day takes you

with oils; try basket-weaving
- Do something spontaneous, and for no reason at all
- Go visit a nearby comedy club
