We have started carrying hand sanitizer with us a lot more than we used to. We may have a bottle at work. We may have another one in our purse. We have even started keeping some in the car. We want to make sure we are always prepared.

Have you ever found yourself drifting away? I mean you are sitting at work and your mind starts to wonder. You find yourself daydreaming. Now the boss notices too. So that can be bad for you.

Our phones are lifesavers. They really are. I don't know how many times I have to pick mine up just to help me through something. I mean if I can't find a certain location. There is our GPS to help us out.

Of course this hasn't been the easiest of years. We never saw this year coming. We really didn't expect a global pandemic when 2020 hit but here we are. We all had to make changes and sacrifices.

Were you one of those that went home to work this spring? Are you still working from home? We have had to come up with all sorts of places to get that work done.

I was talking with my daughter and her friends a bit ago and I was telling them how I was reading that drinking pickle juice was a great thing to drink to help you if you have had a bit too much to drink.

You know what is probably happening all around the world right now? Kids are trying to convince their parents that they really want a dog for Christmas. OK this is probably a year round discussion.

So the good thing about the pandemic this year is that a lot of things have slowed down a bit. For some that is really good. We have been able to spend more time with our family.

Do we really need a reason to drink the deliciiousness that is hot chocolate? Around this time of year we really up our game. The warmth of the delicious drink with marshmallows really feel great when the weather turns colder.

Smiling is an important thing to be able to do. I mean who doesn't want a smiling face greeting you. Even with a mask on people can still tell if you are smiling. It’s just another thing we had to learn in 2020. It doesn't matter if it is at work, school or wherever a smile is one of the most important things to put on in the morning.

You get home from work after a long week and you think how your house is a mess. You may have a small group of people coming over for Thanksgiving tomorrow. You need to clean. It is obvious that the mess is too much for you.

We all know that our Thanksgiving's don't necessarily look the same way that they have in the past. We get that we have to make some changes. What are you doing this year? Every choice comes with some sort of risk.
