American Thanksgiving is always a good time to pause and think about what we are thankful for. This is an especially important thing to do during these difficult and stressful economic times.  It gives an all important perspective on our life as a whole.

What I am thankful for this year:

1. I can financially support my family doing something I really enjoy doing.

2. I have an opportunity to see my children growing, learning and maturing as they become their own people.

3. I see my wife fulfilling her life’s work in the fitness and mind/body area.

4. No matter what the business situation, I usually can find a way through, out or at least to the other side. I can always find actions I can take to give me another chance of success.

5. I am thankful that I get to meet so many people, hear their stories and touch their lives.

6. Barack Obama as president. I feel like we have taken our country back with someone intelligent running the place now.

What are you thankful for?
