Thanksgiving People !

"How wonderful it would be if we could help our children and grandchildren to learn thanksgiving at an early age. Thanksgiving opens the doors. It changes a child's personality. A child is resentful, negative—or thankful. Thankful children want to give, they radiate happiness, they draw people." ~ Sir John Templeton

“No longer forward nor behind
I look in hope or fear;
But, grateful, take the good I find,
The best of now and here.

Hello and hello!

This month's newsletter goes out to more than eighteen thousand people all over the world... I find this to be somewhat daunting and at the same time amazing.

Thanksgiving is next week so I've been thinking about all the things that I have to be thankful for, my family which is large and warm and a little bit crazy, my friends who make me rich and also the work that I was able to do this year.

How about you? What are you particularly grateful for this November? What parts of your life make you really glad? I hope that there are many!

When you see someone that you are thankful for I hope that you tell them, teachers, nurses, the guy the picks up the trash and the girl that takes your order at the counter. Thank yous are always nice words to say.

Best thoughts,
