Ahh Thanksgiving.. The time of the year when families get together, have a good time and give thanks for the many blessings they have enjoyed over the year. Unfortunately, a lot of graphic designers especially the freelancing self-managers tend to miss this opportunity to say thanks and celebrate the day in its true spirit. For them life is a fast-moving train and expressions of gratitude oftentimes get left at the station. Here's a revelation, designers can also enjoy Thanksgiving like everyone else. All they need is a little inspiration.

1. How
Graphic Designers
Should Spend Thanksgiving

2. Take a break from work

3. Start by saying "Today I am thankful for...”
If the only prayer
you said in your
whole life was,
"thank you," that
would suffice

4. Celebrate in the true spirit
Give
thanks for
unknown
blessings
already on
the way

5. The
Thankful
receiver bears a
plentiful
harvest
Send Invites

6. Make Amends
It is not the persons’
mistakes that
define them, it’s the
waythey make
amends

7. Make a No-Swear Day
Be thankful
for what you have
you will end up
having more.

8. Decorate with Family
If you count all
your assets,
you will always
show a profit

9. Share Stories
It is not happy
people who are
thankful;
It is thankful
people who are
happy

10. Celebrate with Family
We often take for
Granted the
very things that most
deserve our
gratitude

11. Make a Wish
Gratitude
turns what we
have into
enough

12. Celebrate with Friends
Your friend is your
fieldwhich you
sow with love and
reap with
thanksgiving

13. Give Presents
Not what we say about
our blessings, but
howwe use them,
is the true
measure of our
thanksgiving

14. Play Indoor Games
Gratitude
consists of being more
aware of what you
have, than what
you don’t

15. But if you’re stuck at work and feeling home sick

16. Stay Positive
Be thankful for
what you have. Your
life, no matter how
bad you think it is, is
someone else’s
fairy tale
