Happy Thanksgiving; I hope you are able to spend time reflecting on all that we can be grateful for.
Sometimes in life it can be difficult to see through the trials and be grateful, but there is always something if we look hard enough.
According to Harvard Science recent research has pointed to gratitude’s numerous positive health effects, including greater emotional and social well-being, better sleep quality, lower depression risks, and favorable markers of cardiovascular health.
Now, new data from the long-term Nurses’ Health Study shows that it may extend lives. So, for happiness, better health and a longer life, spend some time being grateful.
The quilting group is meeting every Monday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. at Jenny’s General Store. We have all levels of skills, each working at their own pace, some fast, some slower, and we all are helping one another along the way. It is a good time to socialize and share our skills with each other, and I am grateful for this opportunity and all those who are participating.
Please continue to support ongoing activities such as by Kendrick Memorial Baptist Church’s yard sale, held most Saturdays starting at 8 a.m. Address is 5152 Ala. Highway 9 in case you haven’t noticed it driving on Highway 9. Elaine Rutledge of Nixburg hosts Rummikub at the Alexander City Senior Center in the Sportplex every first and third Friday starting at 10 a.m.
November and December Equality Neighborhood Watch meeting will be combined to one date, Thursday, December 4. We will start at a new earlier time of 5 p.m. Bring a gift, no more than $10 value, for playing dirty Santa. Please join us for community news, and a great meal and fellowship.
First Saturday on December 6, there will be soup and chili. They will have offerings including chicken and dumpling Soup, white chicken chili, regular chili, spicy chili, and chili with no beans, which is the real chili. OK, I can hear the arguments now with that last statement.
Chili, or soup, with crackers and dessert is $10, with all proceeds going to EVFD. Please come and support our Volunteer Fire Department.
Equality Methodist Church is hosting the Dixie Echoes Quartet from Florida on December 7 from 5 to 7 p.m. There will be refreshments and fellowship afterwards. Please come and worship through music.
I depend upon my readers to share with me what is happening within your organizations, churches, neighborhoods, groups, or family to share in next week’s column. Please contact me; leave a voice message or text 256-531-6460 or email at coosacafe@gmail.com.
