Thankful

November is traditionally the month we associate with being Thankful.   For some of us (yes, that’s me) being thankful is easy and natural.   I don’t know if I always was, but I do remember always being happy.   Even if it’s not natural or easy, we can still practice thankfulness.

  1.  Take time every day to look around and find things to be thankful for – sunshine, beautiful colors in the trees, warm house, the sound of children playing, a good book, your health – or good doctors if your health is not good, the love of someone special, the sacrifices of our service men and women and their families – the list is endless!
  2. Find what brings you joy and make time for that.  Again, the possibilities are endless.     For my newly retired husband, it is gardening and cooking (two things I’m thankful for 😊)

Someone I know experienced a sudden and tragic loss recently.  For her it’s feeling the dirt in her fingers.

Sometimes what brings you joy also gives to others.  A friend created beautiful scrapbooks of her family to tell the stories of their lives.   She passed away last year and her family treasures them now more than ever.

My grandmother loved quilting and made quilts for each of her children, one for each of her 20+ grandchildren and one for several of her great-grandchildren.   We all treasure these.

We don’t have to make something like scrapbooks or quilts.    We can make memories with people – giving of our time to bring joy to others.   Hopefully this will also bring us joy.

  •  Evaluate how you spend your time.   Time is something we all feel we need more of.  We never have enough time to get everything done we want or need to. It is also something only we can adjust and change.   Although there are things we have to do and may not being able to adjust, there are many things we do have control over and should evaluate. 

I feel very fortunate that my work brings me joy AND helps others.  The services we offer help business professionals better manage their business and gives them more time to do what they need to or want to. 

Let’s all take a little extra time to be thankful, not only in November, but always!
