As Thanksgiving approaches we are reminded of the things we are thankful for in our life. There is much we have to be grateful for such as our family, friends, and UP community.  A great way to show our appreciation is through our actions and giving back to others. During this holiday season, here are 10 different ways to show how thankful you are. 

1.     Pay for the person’s coffee in line behind you

2.     Smile at a stranger

3.     Clean out your closet and donate to Goodwill

4.     Volunteer at the soup kitchen

5.     Hold the door open for another person

6.     Return a shopping in the parking lot

7.     Visit an animal shelter

8.     Collect can foods for food bank

9.     Download the charity miles app when you go on a run

10.  Leave a 100% tip the next time you eat out

Portland

I like places. I like people. I like stories; every place, and every person has a story. I want to write as many stories about that place and those people until the stories run dry. Which is...never. So I will continue to write. Please, tell me a story.
