As we approach Thanksgiving, I am reminded to stop and prepare. Not for the menu, desserts to bring, and all the attendant getting ready. Well, in truth, all of that too . . .

Instead, I am considering what I will share this year around the table when we follow our family tradition and take turns giving thanks. 

I think this year my gratitude is simple – I appreciate more and stronger.   My people – you all know who you are – bring me strength, joy, laughter and so much more.  And so, whether you are in my orbit professionally or personally, and in so many cases – both, I hope you know that this year I am grateful for you.

Happy thanksgiving, everyone.
