"Gratitude can transform common days into Thanksgiving, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings."
-William Arthur Ward
November is here - can you believe it? A month completely dedicated to giving thanks for all that we have - people and opportunities that have shaped our lives; necessities like food, clothing and shelter; our jobs, our friends, our family, our health. And so much more!
Don't wait until Thanksgiving to be thankful for what you have. GIve thanks everyday!
Our challenge to you this week - start November off right, with thanks. Take a step back this month and look - really look - at everything you have. Sometimes it seems like it is so much easier to focus on the things we don't have than it is to appreciate what we do have. Be conscious of this and change your perception!

When Devon, Sarah and I were thinking about what it means to be thankful, and who we are thankful for, (and who may not get enough credit), our moms came to mind. So, as a small way to show our thanks and appreciation for EVERYTHING they have done for else since we were little babies in their tummies, we each wrote a handwritten thank you note to them that we will put in the mail. There is nothing like getting a handwritten note from someone you love!
