Welcome to the November issue.
LIVING
This is the month for giving thanks. Thank you to our veterans for their service to our nation as we salute them on Veteran's Day, November 11th. If you know a veteran, shake their hand and tell them you appreciate their service. Thanksgiving offers a great opportunity for us to step back and count the many blessings we have to be thankful for. I am most thankful for wonderful friends and family, work that I love, and the opportunity to wake up in a fabulous, free country everyday. When I think of the sacrifices the early settlers endured in a new land, most of our problems of today pale in comparison. These early pioneers overcame incredible odds, such as brutally cold winters, disease, and starvation to persevere and put down roots in a new world. Thanks to them for paving the way for all that we enjoy today.
