Hi  <<First Name>>

Thanks Living is NOT a new concept, simply one we don't always express.  It is not a day on the calendar, but rather a daily expression in our lives.  

The daily act of living with grateful hearts can transform our life as well as those we interact with each day. 

Below are three tips to Thanks Living - I recently applied the first one at VAASL (Virginia Association of School Librarians)!
Three Tips to Thanks Living
1.  Take a photo every day of something or someone you're thankful for.  (See the photos below)

2.  In your transactions with others (especially people you don't know), take time to look them in the eye and really thank them.

3.  Post gratitude "stop signs" in your life.  These are little reminders to NOT take anything or anyone for granted.
 
 
Kim Aker and Stephanie James at VAASL 2022
Kim and Stephanie stopped by the booth at VAASL in Williamsburg, VA.  They saw a photo from my visit to their school several years ago.    The picture triggered a "funny" memory we shared!  Thank you!
Steve Somers and Norma Bourne at VAASL 2022
Norma visited both my booth and my session at VAASL in Williamsburg, VA.  Little does she know, her kind words helped make my day.  Norma, thanks for the encouragement!  NOTE:  For some reason the picture of Norma and I appears upside down on my test email?  If it shows up that way on your email, I hope it gets your attention. :)  Technology!?!
