This year as Thanksgiving approaches, giving thanks means more than it ever has.  On the heels of Sandy, I am grateful that our only consequence was loss of power for a few weeks.  The loss and damage of homes and devastation to our beloved Jersey Shore, Staten Island, Long Island and so many of our own local areas have made us appreciate what we have  For the fortunate majority of us, it is now time to put away the flashlights and lanterns and clean up the pizza boxes and empty bottles of wine.  While we sedated ourselves with lots of sleep, comfort food and drinks, we all need to pick up ourselves and get back to our pre-Sandy lives.  Now that your fridge is running and you're not living out of a cooler, stock up on some fresh veggies, fruit and protein to get you going and bring back your energy.  Don't forget to start your days with some type of movement such as walking around the block, yoga or even jogging in place.  Get that blood flowing and be sure to think of all the things you have to be thankful for.
