Nothing Without Joy
There are two little saying always present in the entryway to my workplace (a Reggio Emilia-inspired preschool). The previously posted sayings were printed in the very worst font, Comic Sans, on brittle printer paper, and as I aimed to revamp the display board I rewrote these four important words in a more vibrant style. Beautiful sentiments deserve beautiful forms, n'est-ce pas?

Yes, Pisces, you are cranky
--but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy all the scrappy family vibes that Thanksgiving has to offer!
When Andy and I go out for coffee in Berkeley, we typically read the East Bay Express horoscopes aloud to one another. Accuracy varies from week to week, of course, but this week was spot on. I thought that my entire family might benefit from hearing these wise words tailored especially to their signs, so I transformed some blank postcards I had lying around from another project into "gratitude cards" to grace our Thanksgiving table.
After we'd eaten our fill, I handed the cards out to my uncles, aunts, cousins, dad, brother, and other chosen family. The activity was this: in the blank space provided, write down what you're thankful for at this moment. Address the postcard on the opposite side. I will then hang onto the cards, and when Christmas rolls around I'll stamp and send them out. I've done this exercise before, in school, and it's always useful to get messages from your past self.
Gobble, gobble!
