This time last year, there was a lot of uncertainty.  We won’t go into details, but if you don’t remember, good for you!

And here we are at Thanksgiving again. 

Decades ago, G. K. Chesterton wrote,  “You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.”

We say grace – or thank you -- to you who read our blogs, attend our webinars, share our posts and tweets and support us financially.  We relish the comments on Facebook or by email and love the ideas and suggestions you send our way.   Alive ‘n Well is thrive ‘n weller with you and we thank you!

And we couldn’t be more grateful to the many who have purchased our new book, “Class is (Always) In Session.”  If you haven’t already, the link to do so is included in this post.

Our sincere desire for you is that when you sit down this Thanksgiving—whether alone or with many—at a sumptuous feast or merely leftovers—you are filled with a gratitude that transcends food, football or any feelings, really.  We hope you are mindful of the gift of your unique presence in this world; that you matter.

As we began with a quote, so we end.  This from Thornton Wilder:  “We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.”

Have a graceful Thanksgiving and may your hearts and minds be full of the many treasures of life!
