How to Become a Woman of Thanksgiving by Patrice Fagnant-MacArthurIt can be a challenge to be thankful. After all, it often seems so much easier to complain. The bills are piling up, boss wanted project done yesterday and it is barely begun, children want to be brought someplace and don?t want to eat what is on table for dinner, and laundry isn?t going to do itself! Any number of life?s little annoyances can push us into complaining mode. Lamentation is a valid prayer. We are right to bring our cares and concerns to God, to offer up our stress.

| | Choose the Right Sandals and Your Feet Will Thank YouWritten by Maureen Renard
Summer's almost here and warm weather gives us permission to take off heavy socks and let our feet breathe in sandals for every occasion. The varieties are nearly endless. For all of you working women, look for support and ample straps to give you a comfortable platform when walking hallways and offices in your business lives. Stay away from high heels and particularly thin heals as your backs and legs tire quickly with uneven stress those styles can create with all-day wear. Save very high style strappy sandals for parties and dates as limited time standing will help your feet survive ordeal. Platforms are big this season. They will typically attract younger set but can be a fun change from more conservative styles you might have only thought you could wear. Be careful if you have weak ankles. These high risers are great for stout and strong but not for those of us who trip a lot over sidewalk cracks and toys left around house. Huaraches are another good choice and heavier Doc Martens are great for long walks and shopping marathons. Inexpensive styles are good to give you lots of choices to wear with different outfits. Or, of course if your budget allows, invest in several styles that fit your various needs from casual beach sandals to those that will serve you best at dressy occasions.
