Enjoyment is a must in our lives . We would surgest finding joy in our basics in life like enjoying every part of your day , down to its very last detail if you like for our best self . Also enjoy all the many life’s natural splenders of our world as well as the gifts we have within world are all we need .
Hopefully every one or at least most are enjoying many parts of life until we all can by helping one another . Maybe working places you love , volunteering or just enjoying what you choose to put your time too , as long as its in flow or balance of your chi we can be at our best being for further beauties . Anyway … Here are a few things to help out in our journeys of life for enjoyment . _______________________________ We have a few ideas and counting . One is to adopted a dog or cat when things open back up again then save a life or two .which make most feel more relaxed and more healthy . Now since its suggested that we stay home I would suggest some meditation vids . Just lay back and let the guided meditation take you to that peaceful place . Here is one to get started .
Meditation believe it or not is pretty awesome in a few ways . One thing is if you really relax and get in to the meditation , you can really get in to a blissful state and sought of leave your daily life behind and just enjoy . For those who haven’t tried it or found any good videos you can check You tube for some videos for your likings .. Meditation I believe brings one closer to that state of clarity which can be good for praying , concentrating or memorizing and such .

20 Best Thanksgiving Decorations Amazon Reviewers Are Raving About Right Now
Welcome the harvest season with gorgeous fall garlands, festive tablecloths and turkey-inspired decor.
We’ve been independently researching and testing products for over 120 years. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Learn more about our review process.
As you’re getting ready for Thanksgiving this year, make sure your home is in tip-top shape — especially if it’s your turn to host what some might call the most important meal of the year. To bring a little bit of autumn into your home, fill your interior with warm colors, cozy textures and life-like fall foliage. Drape a maple leaf garland on your staircase, create an easy Thanksgiving centerpiece for your dining table and load your front porch with festive fall decor. As you scroll this curated list of holiday decorations, you’ll discover a ton of inspiring fall decor ideas — but, more importantly you’ll find the very best Thanksgiving decor on Amazon.
Amazon has everything you could possibly need, from expensive-looking garlands and wreaths to serving platters and tablecloths. We’ve only included high-quality and durable items that have a four-star or above rating, so you can trust these decorations will last year after year. A number of these picks have earned thousands of five-star reviews, including a soft throw pillow that’s been rated more than 66,000 times!
If you’re feeling artistic, we’ve included a number of best-selling items that can be used to make a DIY Thanksgiving decoration — like a set of mini pumpkins or bunches of artificial fall flowers. Once these decorations arrive on your doorstep (likely in two or less if you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber), you may even be inspired to make a Thanksgiving craft with your kids or an easy fall craft that doubles as decor.
Illuminate your space with these unique acorn string lights. The bendable copper wire adds versatility, meaning you can use them anywhere, whether wrapped around an outdoor column or hanging from a fireplace mantel. The remote makes it easy to change between modes and control the timer.
Whether it’s hung from your mantel, draped along a staircase or used to decorate a blanket ladder, this autumn foliage garland adds warmth to any interior. There are nine color variations, so you can decide if you prefer leaves that are more orange, red, yellow or green.
RELATED: Easy Holiday Hanging Hacks for Garland, Wreaths and More
Having earned more than 24,000 five-star reviews, this decorative throw is popular for being super soft. The almond color is the perfect fall hue to cozy up your space, but you might prefer one of the other hues — like burgundy, mustard or brown. There are three sizes available, depending where you choose to display it.
Super cute and lightweight, these artificial pumpkins come in a ton of colors and patterns — so you can find something that pairs with your home’s aesthetic. Go for a minimalist look with white, create a moody design with navy or black, or opt for something creative like hot pink or leopard. Use them to fill a vase, scatter them around your mantel or add them to a table setting.
Made from all-natural fibers, these charming cloth napkins add a hint of fall to your dining room table — without going overboard. Break out the cotton napkins when you have guests coming over or keep them out as decor all season long. You can also choose from striped, plaid and stamped leaves prints.
Bring the feel of nature into your home with these gorgeous eucalyptus branches. Designed to last, the stems are crafted of iron wire and the leaves are made from detailed fabric. You can easily trim them with scissors to fit your favorite vase.
You’re welcome to use this beautiful platter year round, but the yellow, orange and brown tiles make it the perfect Thanksgiving serving dish. It’s earned a five-star rating for being sturdy and easy to clean. Complete the collection with the matching dining set, serving bowl and canister set. Added bonus: everything is dishwasher and microwave safe!
Here’s a quick and easy way to add harvest colors to your interior: fresh pillow covers. Go for orange, red, yellow, green or brown velvet pillow covers, which have been rated more than 66,000 times on Amazon.
Yankee Candle Spiced Pumpkin Candle
Your whole house will smell like a pumpkin spice latte, along with delicious notes of clove, nutmeg, cinnamon and brown sugar. This highly-rated candle will burn for more than 110 hours, making it well worth its price.
Jinghong Autumn Foliage Wreath
Decorate your front door with life-like fall foliage, daisies and berries. Already have a wreath for outdoors? Hang this one inside above the fireplace mantel, from a closet door or on a blank wall in the living room.
Swap out your tablecloth to instantly give your dining room an autumn feel. This shiny fabric cloth is rated highly for being wrinkle free, easy to clean and rich in color. Plus, there are four color options: rust, ivory, gold and amber-bronze.
ALLADINBOX Turkey Tea Light Candle Holders
Made from bronze metal, these adorable turkey candle holders are playful and festive, yet still feel elegant and classy. Each set includes three sitting and three standing turkeys.
There’s something very “Thanksgiving” about rustic and country chic home decor, like this jute table runner. There are three different sizes and styles to choose from, so you can find the perfect pick for your dining room.

Check these ideas from Hip2save.com
Simple Ways to Spread Random Acts of Kindness
Looking for ways to give back on and share random acts of kindness? Here are some inspiring ideas!
Throw kindness around like confetti! 
Looking for ways to give back this season, or any other time of year? We’ve come up with a list of inspiring random acts of kindness so you can fill your community with positivity!
Now more than ever people could use a little extra kindness, so this will be a great way to involve the whole family, focus your attention on helping others, and pay it forward!
Read on to feel inspired and grab our FREE printable before you get started!
We all know giving is so much more rewarding than receiving, so feel free to use our ideas as a helpful tool to start thinking about how your family can come together and model selflessness this season. I even made a free printable for inspiration plus a blank one if you’d rather come up with a unique list all your own!
Download my FREE Random Acts of Kindness printable now!
Or use the blank printable to create your own.
It’s worth noting that your ideas can be simple acts of kindness that don’t cost a thing or they can be bigger projects where you go all out! Regardless, any act of kindness will make a difference – no matter how big or small.
There’s no timeline for kindness, so you and your family can go at your own pace or set a goal date to accomplish your list.
1. Collect & donate unused household items and clothing.
This is something the whole family can easily participate in, and it’s also a great way to make room and declutter your home. Have the kids go through their toy box for unused toys, gather clothes that no longer fit, and don’t forget to check that game closet for ones collecting dust!
Make sure to also check out our 4-week clean-out challenge if you’re looking to do a serious detox in every room (don’t worry, we have a printable for that too). Then, donate to your favorite charity, or host a garage sale and donate proceeds.
Hip Tip: Speaking of donating, did you see our Reverse Advent Calendar? It’s the perfect idea for the holidays! 
2. Deliver food to people in need.
There are a plethora of food banks needing your help or you could also consider calling your local shelter to see what food items are needed most. Better yet, if you’ve been stockpiling groceries in your pantry, this idea might not cost you anything if you can shop your own pantry.
You could also turn this idea into your very own food drive! Food banks can always use extra hands with organizing so get the family together, make some posters, and count and sort donations from loved ones to deliver the donations to the local food pantry.
3. Make a difference for an animal.
Sometimes those in need have four legs and a furry tail! You can help dogs and cats in many ways including fostering, adopting, or even volunteering for a couple of hours at an animal shelter near you. You can also consider donating other needed items to your local animal shelters such as blankets, food, and dog toys.
Hip Tip: We often post awesome pet-related deals so make sure to check them out before you purchase anything for your donation.
4. Lead a book drive.
Make sure everyone has books to read! Encourage literacy by collecting new and gently used books from your home, friends, neighbors, and family and then donate to your local school, library, or women’s shelter.
Better yet, you can put fliers out for a contactless pick-up and set a date to gather all the book donations.
5. Curate care packages for those affected by homelessness.
Consider collecting small personal care items and compiling “Blessing Bags” using freezer bags for those affected by homelessness. Your family can help compile them by including items like travel-sized shampoo, a toothbrush, soap, granola bars, clean socks, gift cards for food, and more!
6. Visit a nursing home.
Any surprise visit to a nursing home will delight someone’s day. Either show up with a little care package or grace them with your time – either way, it’ll be sure to brighten their day. Especially during the holidays when many are celebrating alone, make a special visit with the kids, go caroling in the halls, or deliver some handmade cards. Any will mean so much to someone in a nursing home.
*Please make sure to contact your local nursing home before making any arrangements to stop by as they might still have visitation limits to family and friends. Last year, we had to get creative and visit outside their window.
7. Adopt or help a family in need.
Maybe there’s a family you know that is struggling or a parent who could use a little extra help. You could volunteer to babysit, tutor kids, help with housework, walk their dog, or even help with their yard work.
As another idea (and if your budget allows), consider surprising a family or person in need with some basic groceries or a grocery store gift card to help lighten the load! If you’ll be buying the groceries yourself, you can even plan for them to be delivered directly to their door!
8. Plan ways of surprise giving and acts of kindness.
Surprising random strangers unexpectedly feels so good! For ideas, you can grab some cash and leave it in unexpected places like a gas station or vending machine, pay for the person behind you in the fast-food or Starbucks drive-through line, or you could even grab some 5 or 10 dollar gift cards and hand them to strangers as you walk down the street!
Don’t have a budget for this? Surprise someone with a nice compliment, or a friendly smile – as those are totally FREE and can still turn someone’s whole day around. 
9. Lift a soldier’s spirits by saying “Thank You”.
Looking to spread some random acts of kindness to some very deserving individuals? Write letters of gratitude or put together a simple care package to send to the troops. Check out websites like OperationGratitude.com or TheUSO.org for information on how to donate. Plus, this is even a great activity for kids to practice their writing skills! Win, win!
10. Run or walk for a cause.
Get you or the whole family moving together to benefit a great cause! Participate in a local run or walk that raises money for a charity that’s important to you and your family. Participants usually pay a registration fee and collect pledges, and in return enjoy a fun run or walk outdoors that’s likely to become a tradition year after year.
You can find upcoming events by searching on Facebook or head over to Active.com where you can search in your area and narrow it down by date. Plus, some charities are even hosting virtual races for those who don’t wish to leave their home.
Looking for more ideas? The random acts of kindness don’t stop there!
11. Leave a kind note for someone.
12. Introduce yourself to a new neighbor or coworker.
13. Share words of encouragement on social media.
14. Return someone’s shopping cart for them.

Download a ticket to Smithsonian magazine Museum Day and hit otherwise spendy spots like the Cooper Hewitt, the Rubin, the Intrepid, and the Museum of Arts and Design.
