Thankfulness.

It’s something we should practice all year round, but it’s easy to forget about as we go through the challenges of every day.

Thankfulness asks us to step back, to reflect, to consider.

This week and in the weeks to come, we should all take time to give thanks.

Thanks for our friends and family.

Thanks for our loved ones.

Thanks for our health, our prosperity and the blessings we’ve all received.

And thanks for you.
