Turkey with Jan

Deviating from my normal format for this Thanksgiving Day I wanted to acknowledge that sometimes we forget about a lot of the things that we have to be thankful for, so I have included a list below of things to reflect on as a gentle reminder of our blessings.

1. Laughter: Those lighthearted moments that make life better.
2. Good Health: Feeling well and being able to enjoy life’s moments.
3. Family: The love, support, and good times shared with family, near and far.
4. Friends: Those friends who bring laughs and have your back.
5. Pets: Our loyal, furry or feathered friends who make everything better.
6. A Cozy Home: A place to feel safe, relax, and recharge.
7. Good Food: Delicious meals and getting to share them with people you love.
8. Freedom: The ability to make choices and shape our own lives.
9. Kindness from Others: Those little moments of generosity that brighten the day.
10. Community: Being part of a group or neighborhood that feels like home.
11. Nature: The beauty of the outdoors, from calming landscapes to fresh air and sunshine.
12. Learning and Growth: Opportunities to learn new things, grow, and develop skills.
13. Personal Strengths: Resilience, determination, and talents that help us succeed.
14. Moments of Calm: Those quiet, peaceful times that help us recharge.
15. Creativity: The joy of expressing yourself, whether it’s through art, music, or problem-solving.
16. Technology: Connections made possible with friends, family, and resources through technology.
17. Acts of Kindness: Those thoughtful gestures we give and receive that brighten our days.
18. Mentors and Teachers: People who guide us and teach us valuable lessons.
19. Memories: Cherished moments from the past that bring comfort and joy.
20. New Beginnings: The chance to start fresh and pursue new paths or goals.
21. Living in the Moment: The ability to appreciate life as it is, right here and now.
22. Good Books: Stories, knowledge, and ideas that transport us and inspire.
23. Celebrations: Shared traditions that bring meaning and connection to our lives.
24. Forgiveness: The healing that comes with forgiving others and us.

I wish you all a warm, happy, and healthy Thanksgiving with your family friends.   I am thankful to have you all in my life and look forward to being here for you for many years to come.

 Always supporting you,                                                                                                                                                                                                  Jan
