So Stacy lets me know she's doing this new thing out of the blue and do I want to play - NOW? Since it's all about giving thanks and being grateful - and I'd had plenty of things today already that I was grateful for, I absolutely wanted to play. :)
To find out more and play along, too (it's really easy - well, is it ever HARD to say thank you?), visit the 30 Days of Thanks blog.
Today I'm grateful for best friends, Starbucks, collaboration, creativity, and Christmas music.
Maybe I'd better explain some of that. :) Kathryn and I went running this afternoon, and the plan was to hopefully cool off enough in time for a pumpkin spice latte. We pull up to our new Safeway (with a Starbucks inside) and see people walking out with Starbucks cups. These aren't normal Starbucks cups; they've already unveiled their holiday season cups.
Okay, at least it's not before Halloween that they've done this.
We walk into the store and find that not only are they featuring new holiday flavors, eggnog latte and gingerbread spice latte, they also have samples of gingerbread spiced latte RIGHT THERE! As a matter of fact, Friendly Starbucks Guy is adding whipped cream to the samples.
I took my sample, and it was delicious. Tasted like Christmas. So when we got home and I went in my office to do work, I turned on Christmas music. Yes, it's November 3, but I certainly enjoyed myself!
What are you thankful for?
I love it! There used to be a radio station called Christmas Music all year round. It didn't last to the next Christmas, but it was fun! :)
I have Christmas presents all wrapped already in my house. They've inspired me to put up my tree, but not until Thanksgiving day. :)
