When You Need More Than One Day For Thanks {Weekend Link Love}

This is the week that Americans set aside for thanks.

I don't know about you, but I need more than that. I need a mindset of thanks. A way to tune my mind to thanks 365 days a year.

This weekend make it a time to focus on the abundance of life that is every day. Here are a few links to help us along.
