Time to Give Thanks

Thanksgiving is only a few days away! That feels almost impossible as I look out our front window at rain and green grass. Nevertheless, the holidays are rushing towards us whether we are prepared or not. At this busy busy time of year, Thanksgiving is a gem of a holiday tucked in between highly commercialized and consumer-centric activities. This Thursday, we are encouraged to sit down with our loved ones, enjoy a meal, enjoy their company, and to look back at the year with
