The Power of Gratitude: Celebrating Thanksgiving and Life’s Blessings

This is Thanksgiving week, and I feel especially grateful this year. I'll be spending the holiday with our children, their spouses, and my parents. Our son and his wife will be hosting in their new home—a beautiful gathering filled with love, laughter, and connection.

2025 has been a year full of milestones and blessings. Two of our children got married, celebrating their unions exactly as they wanted.

Family health scares are behind us, and everyone is doing much better. Homes have been bought, sold, and family moved, bringing us closer together.

My parents have relocated closer to family, hurricane season came and went safely, and both my husband and I are celebrating success in our businesses.

We’ve traveled, enjoyed the beauty of our town, and navigated life’s challenges together with support and resilience.

I am deeply grateful for family, friends, home, health, and the many blessings we experience every day.

The power of gratitude cannot be overstated. I truly believe in the idea that “where focus goes, energy flows”.

By noticing and celebrating what’s going well, we attract more positivity into our lives. Even in the midst of struggles, gratitude shifts perspective, creating space for joy, clarity, and peace.

Whether your Thanksgiving gathering is a big family event, Friendsgiving, or an intimate celebration, pause for a moment to reflect on the good in your life. Celebrate victories, big and small, and honor the moments that bring you joy.

Gratitude is not just a feeling—it’s a practice that transforms our mindset and our experiences.

From my family to yours, I wish you a Thanksgiving filled with warmth, connection, and the ability to see through the tough times and celebrate the good.
