As we enter the holiday season, it is important to remember the family traditions and give thanks for the bounties we have. So often we overlook all of the treasures that we experience on a daily basis and are remiss from expressing our gratitude every day, not just during the holidays.

Each day is a gift to be held close to the heart, shared with your loved ones and openly communicated. Don’t wait for a special occasion or a tragedy. It is in this moment that you have the opportunity to tell someone you love and appreciate them. You value and respect them.

Hugs are free – give them often.

Be the last one to let go.

Look the other person in the eye, hold that gaze and let them know you truly care.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

May you have peace and joy EVERY DAY.

“Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every breath a song.” Konrad von Gesner
