I have many things to be thankful for, always. Not just once each year on Thanksgiving, but every day. This year, that feeling of gratefulness is amplified. This year has been strange…challenging…stressful. But, we are so lucky. We are able to work and we are healthy. These 2 things often can be taken for granted, but not this year.

We know those who are sick from COVID. We know those who have died from COVID. We know those who have lost their jobs from COVID. These are our family and friends.

We all have wishes and desires, hopes and dreams. But today, instead of considering what we don’t have, let’s focus on all those things, people and places for which we’re grateful.
