November 2023
We just finished up the annual and traditional time of Thanksgiving with family, friends, helping, giving, listening, and encouraging. I hope we all found moments of joy and spent some parts of the day giving thanks, not just in our hearts, but to those we shared time with. People bring a richness to our lives that adds a special value we might overlook whether that is through a personal relationship, a casual one, work related, or something of an abstract. If you missed someone, it is never too late to give a simple thank you. 11/29/2023 12:00 AM
