Since many of you will be around many people today (shopping, etc), keep a hankerchief or tissue in your pocket or tucked into your sleeve so you can blow your nose or itch your nose without touching your fingers to your nose.

Think 'stretch and grow' today. Stand up and have a big stretch or sit and have a big stretch or lay on the floor have a big stretch and you will feel so much better. Your body wants to stretch its muscles, tendons and ligaments. When you yawn you are trying to take in more oxygen into your blood. So yawn! Stretch your body and your mouth and YAWN!

Since many of you will be among a lot of people today, offer some assistance and use your manners. Better yet, don't ask, just start helping because you will be oxygenating your blood by getting up, assisting and moving around.

Making casseroles with leftovers is a great way to save money with Thanksgiving leftovers. Mashed potato pancakes are something we have once a year, the day after Thanksgiving. More than likely you will be on your phone today, so Google some moneysaving leftover ideas.

Preparation is always better than haste making waste. Whatever you are doing over the next couple of days, whether that is visiting, shopping or traveling, prepare your timing with the intention of being effective and enjoyable. Remember - effective and enjoyable.

Think about what you didn't have at Thanksgiving that could have made your food preparation needs a lot easier. Maybe you needed an extra hot plate, or skillet, wooden spoon or crockpot. Maybe you needed a hot food carrier for traveling. Use your 'Notes' App on your smartphone and put that on your Christmas or Black Friday list.
