Today is day 12, the final day of my 12 Days of Thanks leading up to Thanksgiving. I’ve enjoyed putting out my statements of gratitude these 12 days. Ad as I bring this one series to a close, I won’t necessarily be stopping here. But thank you for letting me give you a glimpse of my real life and the real things that make me happy and thankful. See, I’m not all business all the time. Gratitude is the Attitude!

Today I am thankful for:

• My God.
• The togetherness and happiness we feel when we gather together on this day with our friends, family and dear loved ones.
• For my husband, son, and entire family who bring me so much happiness. I could have no possessions at all and still be happy with just their mere presence in my life.

“He who thanks but with the lips
Thanks but in part;
The full, the true Thanksgiving
Comes from the heart.”
-J.A. Shedd

Thanksgiving!

So yesterday ended up being a very busy Sunday, so my Days of Thanks slipped to the back of my mind. But I am making up for it today with extra. The sun may not be shining, but I am feeling extra sunny today. So on to my 12 Days of Thanks leading up to Thanksgiving, Days 8 and 9. Gratitude is the Attitude!

Today I am thankful for:

• Waking up with a very sunny and happy attitude the last few days. I’m feelin’ good.
• Sense of accomplishment while I am ticking off my to-dos right and left.
• My awesome clients, many of which have been with me since I started 5 years ago. They help me love what I do.
• Technology. Hardly know what I would do without it, but sure appreciate all the tech tools I have at my fingertips and make my life and my business easier. Especially my trusty laptop.
• The ability to be able to travel and visit my family who live very far away from me when I want to. Some who have loved ones many miles away cant afford that opportunity and hardly get to see their family members.
• Our people in congress who know what the right thing to do is and will stand up for it no matter the cost to their “power” or re-election.
• Quiet nights at bedtime the baby has afforded us these last few nights.

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ” -John F. Kennedy
