THANKFUL RETROSPECTIVE...

Getting ready for Thanksgiving is always a great opportunity to think about all of the 'things and stuff' you are truly thankful for... health, family, freedom, etc. As I mentioned the other day, our family builds a paper turkey and lists the 'things' we are thankful for on tail feathers and we post them to share with everyone. After Thanksgiving is a good opportunity to revisit the things we have listed that we are thankful for and make plans to carry those blessings in to the future.

We should take time to SAVOR the blessings we have. Life goes so fast that at times we don't take time to really appreciate the blessings we enjoy, especially with the Christmas Holidays right around the corner. Now that we have taken time to list our blessings, it is important to take time to SAVOR those blessings. As we savor it is important to SHARE those blessings again with those we love and with those who are important to us. Make sure people know how you feel about them and how grateful you are that they are in your life. Finally, we should extend our blessings to others through SERVICE. By providing SERVICE to others our spirits are lifted and our blessings grow.

As we go into the Christmas Holiday, remember those who are less fortunate and share with them some of your extra blessings. I am a true believer in karma... share what you can and you will always have what you need.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

SAMI AND THE TURKEY!
