I have thought about doing this before but was too afraid of the kinds of responses I'd get.
These gracious people actually posted an ad on Craigslist, inviting people in need to their home for Thanksgiving. So cool.

Happy Thanksgiving!
The One Good Thing Blog was started last Thanksgiving to highlight all the good that is in this world; and it's been so fun to work on this project.
When I think about all that I have to be thankful for this year, these items on the blog are really just the tip of the iceberg; the love and care and laughter that my friends and family have brought this year, especially this, which has turned out to be the most difficult of years, is just astounding and overwhelmingly powerful. You got me through this with your love and friendship and humor.
So here's a good thing that's cracked me up on YouTube this year; with the perfect song.

Halloween Party Treats
Do you have too much candy left from Halloween?
You can donate it to Second Harvest or other local food banks:
http://www.2ndharvest.net/
You could also use some of it to make yummy desserts, such as this Snickers Sauce, which was included in this NPR article:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=96179573&ps=bb1
Snickers Sauce
8 snack-size Snickers bars
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup roasted unsalted peanuts
In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped Snickers, heavy cream and brown sugar. Reduce heat to medium-low and allow sauce to gently bubble for about 5 minutes, or until thick and gooey, stirring occasionally. The sauce should adhere to the back of a spoon. Stir in the peanuts. Remove pan from heat.
