Being Thankful, Turn Small Things Into Something

This is the time of year to reflect upon all of your blessings.  First, I am thankful for my family.  I am blessed to still have a father and father-in-law alive and healthy.  I also have two children, happily married and a total of three grandchildren.  My wife and partner of over thirty-six years, makes everything else in my life possible. I am so thankful for her.
We should be thankful for the country we live in.  Many have sacrificed for our freedoms.  We should pay it forward by getting involved in our communities.  Even in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, we have homeless people and children that will go hungry without our help and support.  Find something you are passionate about and do what you can to help.  You may not think your little contribution will make a difference, but if we get everyone to do just a little bit, we will make large changes.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has”  Margaret Mead.
