Today middleSage is featuring Guest Author Jen Ludwigsen. This is Week 1 of my November “Stressgiving to Thanksgiving” series. Each week, I’ll be dedicating my posts to finding the “thanks” in Thanksgiving again. No, this isn’t going to be one of those guilt-inducing, you-should-be-more-grateful blog series.
