Happy Thanksgiving!
“Thanksgiving is a special time when friends and family all come together to spend some quality time, enjoy each other’s company and give thanks. Every year, my family, friends and I like to give thanks in a multitude of ways. We also enjoy a healthy activity. We start the day off with a 10k so we unstuff before we stuff and are still able to donate to a charitable cause!” – Lauren Husein, Communication & Events Coordinator at OACHC

If running isn't your thing, but you still want to give thanks in another way, there are so many food pantries in need of volunteers and donations. To find one near you, go to http://ohiofoodbanks.org/foodbanks/
Thanksgiving dinner is something I personally look forward to ALL YEAR LONG! At the same time, its so easy to get carried away with trying 5 different kinds of stuffing, 7 different pies and oh the mashed potatoes and gravy. Yessss!

Wanna try something totally new this year and have a new tradition? Here are a few ideas:
- Taking a walk after dinner
- Take time for yourself before and after dinner
- Have everyone write their "thanks" on a tablecloth
- Travel somewhere
- Create a cookbook
- Anything that gets your whole group (no matter the size!) involved.
So, from our family to yours, have a happy and healthy holiday!
