- What are you thankful for this year?
-
It's been a challenging year in many ways -- and it's often easy to dwell on what we don't have or have lost rather than what we do have and should remember to celebrate and cherish. Next week, we'll enjoy a holiday called Thanksgiving in the U.S. It's a wonderful time to reflect on what you have -- to make a gratitude list in your mind--or write it down in the form of a prayer or a poem or journal entry.
Believe me, I do not mean to diminish or disregard those who have experienced losses and are grieving the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, the foreclosure on a home, the disintegration of a marriage, the passing of a pet ... but look around you, look inside you ... there is something to be grateful for, don't you agree?
Keep your focus on that, no matter how small or large it may be ... and if your gratitude list is deep and wide, be happy. Share your bounty with others.
I know I am grateful for my job and my colleagues, Amway Global and its IBOs and customers, my family and friends, my health. And the list goes on and on and on ...
Have a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable holiday.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

About Susan Julien-Willson
I enjoy attending writing/marketing/advertising seminars and conferences for the inspiration and motivation they provide and I also love participating in a monthly writing group and a book club. On weekends, I am frequently found in the poetry/fiction/business/music sections of Schuler Books, my fave local bookstore, or reading magazines and sipping coffee in their café. You can also look for me on weekends at my family cottage in the summer or movie theaters or the mall in the winter. Evenings and weekends, you might spot me out walking when the weather is warm and sunny, or at the Alticor fitness center a few times a week. I love clothes and jewelry as an expression of my personal style. Because I tend to spend most of my time working, working out, or writing poetry, I don?t do the extent of volunteer work I?d like to, but I have a long list of favorite charities I support, including Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Easter Seals, American Cancer Society, Hospice of Michigan, Gilda's Club, and Habitat for Humanity.
