November brings one of my very favorite holidays\u2014Thanksgiving. I love it because it\u2019s not focused on gifts; it\u2019s really about what everyone brings to the table. You pass around the turkey and the dressing and all, and it\u2019s a chance for everyone to really express what they are thankful for.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m thankful that I met my wife Margie and that she\u2019s been my companion, my love, and my partner for 62 years now\u2014unbelievable. I\u2019m grateful for our son, Scott, and our daughter, Debbie, and what they\u2019ve brought to our lives and to our company. I\u2019m grateful for our grandkids who are all so special, and for our two sweet little great-granddaughters. We\u2019re blessed to still have our sweet\u00a0 dog, Joy, who is 17 years old now and always a perfect example of unconditional love.\u00a0I\u2019m thankful to have had a wonderful mom and dad who always lifted me up and a great sister who encouraged me constantly.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m thankful for an amazing God who loves me, and you, and everybody. And I\u2019m so grateful for everyone who works in our company and for their contributions to this very special 46-year-old organization. Together we are making a difference in the world. Our people are the ones who help us continue to get better, and keep our clients happy. We\u2019re all in it together and we support each other.<\/p>\n

I like to say, \u201cLife is a very special occasion; don\u2019t miss it.\u201d Part of that is being thankful for the blessings you have. It doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t troubles along the way. But every day when you wake up, be grateful for another day to share with people and be with people and maybe make a difference. And try counting your blessings each night before you go to sleep. You\u2019ll be surprised how peaceful it will make you feel.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to wait until Thanksgiving\u2014reach out today to the people you really care about and tell them you\u2019re thankful they are in your life. Because life is a very special occasion!<\/p>\n
