Crisp fall air is here this week. It feels great! Get out and enjoy it. Who knows how long it will last? Fourth summer may be just around the corner.

We are decorating our homes and businesses for fall. That means that Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I may have made a big leap there, skipping over some other events that you may like. I am not a huge fan of some of the fall celebrations. I am a fan of Thanksgiving food and thinking about what we have to be thankful for. We get so caught up in the bad, depressing, loneliness, and victimhood of life that we forget all that we have to be thankful for on a daily basis. Let’s change our focus. We have a choice. What choice will you make today and everyday? Will you choose to let your circumstances choose your mood and mindset or will you choose joy and gratefulness?

I am going to choose to focus on being grateful. I have made a chart that will hang on my refrigerator for the next few months: Alphabet of Gratitude. If you want one, email me and I will send it to you. Let me know what you are grateful for.
