It’s the perfect time of year to reflect and give thanks for our clients. Without you, our work would be without cause. We are grateful for the past 15 years and look forward to more years where we can continue to serve and provide you support with peace of mind.

In honor of National Gratitude Month in November here are some tips to help you and your family reflect on the blessings surrounding you.

• Keep a gratitude journal with a daily affirmation on what you or your family is grateful for.
• Set a time daily (such as dinner time) to have your entire family share what each person was grateful for from that day.
• Communicate your gratitude with others – this helps spread positivity that turns into a multiplication effect of gratefulness beyond that of just your own.
• Continue to build and grow gratitude by giving back to your community, neighborhood or an organization that can use your time or investment which turns into another multiplication effect.
• Make a gratitude college…this will give you a visual of all the people and things in your life which you hold in the highest regard.

Research has proven health benefits to those who embrace daily gratitude. People who are grateful have less stress-related illness, less depression, lower blood pressure, better physical fitness and have an overall happier life. In addition, kids who are more grateful are more likely to achieve better grades in school. Make time to observe and acknowledge your gratitude and more good will grow.
