November is the month when we reflect on our blessings and we should be thankful for what we have been given in life. Recently, I had a friend send me a copy of a book called “The Power of Gratitude” written by Patrick M. Garry, who was raised in Fairmont, MN. It’s a very good book that hits home for so many of us that grew up in the midwest. But most importantly, it tells a great story on how his parents lived a very fulfilled life of gratitude. I encourage you to grab a copy of this short book, but, most importantly focus and reflect on your own “Gratitude.” Research states that people who practice gratitude every day are not only happier but also healthier. So if you were looking for reasons to be thankful, then these benefits should be just the motivation you need. Happy Thanksgiving to all: our customers, neighbors, friends and community. We are all blessed in so many ways.
