The Holiday Season is not about giving gifts.
It's not about getting together with family.
It's not about reviewing the past year.
In fact, the holidays are not about any of the things we usually associate with them.
The holidays are about remembering to be grateful.
To be grateful for Life.
To be grateful for our community.
To be grateful for our experiences.
To be grateful for it all, the struggles and the joys.
For when we learn to be grateful for all of life, life becomes much easier to live.
Gratitude lights our hearts and spirits.
Gratitude is the grease that oils the wheels of our relationships.
Gratitude is the energy that gives us the strength to be generous.
So it is gratitude that makes the family gatherings more pleasant.
It is gratitude that makes the gift giving more fun.
It is gratitude that makes reviewing our past year a joyful endeavor.
It is gratitude that makes looking forward to next year so palatable.
We are grateful for all of you who make this time of year special for us.
With all our hearts, we say "Thank You!"
