It’s Thanksgiving, but what does that mean? And how can thankfulness affect your outlook on life? University of Central Missouri psychology professor Kim Stark-Wroblewski says you don’t have to get a new car, a promotion or a gift to be thankful. She says you can be thankful for the small things, such as being thankful for nice weather, time to be with the family or having a day off for Thanksgiving. Stark-Wroblewski says some research indicates happiness levels go up when we’re thankful and many of us have much to be thankful for. She says there might be times that we don’t even recognize the good things in our lives, because we’ve gotten spoiled. She says those who are grateful, who display an optimistic outlook, are just more fun to be around than the pessimist.
Some Unusual Table Talk Today
This might be the day to talk turkey about your family’s health, this day when a lot of families get together, often with several generations at the table… The state health department urges people to compile their family medical histories back at least three generations. As long as people are going to complain about feeling stuffed today, they might as well talk about how they have felt at various other times. The department’s Sharmini Rogers says most of our disorders are genetic. She says three generations of history, on both sides of the family, is important because some illnesses or conditions can skip generations. She says it’s good for children to have this information so they can adjust their lives as they grow up to deal with family health issues before they become THEIR family health issues. And it’s good for adults to have this information to give to their doctors.
Drop Thanksgiving Feast Costs Leaves Some Spare Change
Cost of cranberries… up. Cost of turkey… up. Cost of a traditional Thanksgiving feast… down. That’s what the Missouri Farm Bureau has figured for Missourians. Spokesman Diane Olson says last year a feast for ten cost 34 dollars and 46 cents in the state. This year she says that cost is more than 20 cents less, meaning residents can stuff themselves full of stuffing for about 3-42 a person. Olson points out Missourians are getting a break from the national trend which jumped a dollar this year and comes in nearly four dollars more than Missouri’s $34.24 feast. She says that’s reason enough for Missourian’s to give thanks this holiday. She points out that the Farm Bureau uses specific brands and goods sizes to ensure prices are comparable to the national average.
Hollister To Play Football
Fourth and fifth graders in Hollister, MO will have part of their high school futures decided in couple weeks. The city’s high school might be adding football to its Fall sports menu.
The plan was discussed during a school board in which there was no apparent opposition. The school of about 370 students currently offers basketball, baseball, track, volleyball, cross country, and golf.
A vote will take place Dec. 4 on whether to officially accept the program. The school has already set aside money for the program that will take at least four years to begin at the varsity level.
Mizzou Women No Fun In Sun
Missouri traveled to sunny California, but looked foggy in a 75-60 defeat to No. 11 Stanford.
The Tigers wilted under the Cardinal defensive pressure to the tune of 33 percent shooting from the field. That will never be good enough to beat a top 15 team. Seniors Tiffany Brooks and Carlynn Savant shot a combined six of 29.
Mizzou did have four players score in double-figures. Alyssa Hollins had a team-high 14 points, freshman Jessra Johnson scored 12.
