Are you counting your blessings, as opposed to counting your things?

Are you counting your blessings, as opposed to counting your things?

Thanksgiving is behind us.  Next stop…trees and mistletoe, menorahs, champagne toasts and countdowns…followed by resolutions for a new, happy, and healthier year.

As we progress into the busiest time of year (and, what some may say is the most stressful) – its important to take a deep breath and enjoy this Holiday Season.

There is so much going on around us. So much “noise” and chaos that it is even more important to be appreciative of those who are near and dear to us. Each day is precious and we never know what the next sunrise might bring.

Let us celebrate the abundance of love, freedom and beauty that is all around us. Let us start with gratitude and empathy for those not as fortunate. We are truly blessed in one way or another- and that should never be forgotten.
