November is here, and with Thanksgiving right around the corner, it is a good time to remind ourselves everything we have to be thankful for. When you focus on the positive, you tend to forget about the negative. That’s why I like to keep a thankful journal. Each night, or when I remember, I write down 10 things I am thankful for. It can be something as simple as I liked what I had for lunch today… or I am grateful for my two amazing children. Then I go to bed each night with all those positive thoughts it my head. Pretty great idea, right?
Right now, The Home Depot is running a giveaway called , 10,000 Thanks. For each entry, they will donate $3 to Volunteers of America. (up to $30,000) And if you tell them about someone you are thankful for, you can get even more entries!
The contest got me thinking about who I am thankful for. There’s a long list of people I could easily name, but if I had to narrow it down to only one person, it would be my husband. Donnie makes my thankful journal list almost every night.

Now it’s your turn, tell The Home Depot who you are thankful for and you could win a Home Depot gift card, and help out a good cause in the process! You can enter The Great Giveback through and even earn extra entries by submitting photos and sharing with your friends!
I have yet ANOTHER reason for you to be thankful, The Home Depot provided me with a $50 gift card to give to my awesome, fantastic readers! The giveaway ends Friday, November 14th and I will notify the winner by email by Monday, November 17th.
