Thanksgiving: A
Time for Gratitude
Some folks love the shopping, cooking, and camaraderie of
holidays; others dislike the long lines, financial stress, and seasonal music.
No matter which tribe you belong to, focusing on the ‘thanks’ part of
Thanksgiving can heighten your enjoyment of the holidays. That’s because
showing gratitude – expressing appreciation for what we have as opposed to
lamenting what we don’t – boosts our sense of happiness and wellbeing. It also
increases our energy, empathy, and optimism.1 (Plus, you’ll be
prepared when asked to tell everyone what you’re grateful for before the
holiday feast begins.) This year, we’re thankful for:
·
Family whether blood relatives,
clients, or co-workers. We appreciate the people who enrich our lives and make
us feel at home.
·
Teachers who have challenged us to do
our best at various stages in our lives.
·
Pets which are often demanding but pay
us back in love many times over.
·
History because it offers us the
knowledge we need to shape the future.
We value your relationship and appreciate the trust you’ve placed
in us. If there’s anything we can do to guide you in your financial situation,
please give us a call. We’re grateful for you and ready to listen.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Best regards,
