Happy Thanksgiving 2015!
I’ve always looked forward to Thanksgiving Day. It is one of my favorite holidays of the year. The combination of the food, the parade, football, and, most importantly, family, makes it a special day. It marks the beginning of the countdown to Christmas and signals the start of celebrating the end of another year. I certainly have a lot to be thankful for and feel fortunate to be in this position.

Words Of Gratitude To Reflect On

I thought it would be nice to share a few related thoughts from others:   “Life without thankfulness is devoid of love and passion. Hope without thankfulness is lacking in fine perception. Faith without thankfulness lacks strength and fortitude. Every virtue divorced from thankfulness is maimed and limps along the spiritual road.” – John Henry Jowett   “Thanksgiving comes to us out of the prehistoric dimness, universal to all ages and all faiths. At whatever straws we must grasp, there is always a time for gratitude and new beginnings.” – J. Robert Moskin   “Stand up, on this Thanksgiving Day, stand upon your feet. Believe in man. Soberly and with clear eyes, believe in your own time and place. There is not, and there never has been, a better time or a better place to live in.” – Phillips Brooks   “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”  – John Fitzgerald Kennedy   “A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue but the parent of all the other virtues.” Cicero   Happy Thanksgiving!
