Happy Belated Thanksgiving

Hello loyal readers!

Well, it's been a week since Thanksgiving and I'm still feeling the need for a little more pumpkin pie...I hope I'm not the only one! Thanksgiving is a holiday that signifies giving thanks and gratitude. The only downfall in that is that we are dedicating one specific day a year to do this really profound and personal growth exercise of gratitude.

I recently read something that spoke about gratitude. And what it said was, "No matter who you are or where you are, you can change your life with gratitude, but you must feel it with your whole heart and radiate it from every cell. Gratitude is not a mental exercise, and in fact, if you simply use your mind for gratitude it will have little or no power. True gratitude comes from your heart! You must think gratitude through your heart, speak gratitude through your heart, and feel it intensely in your heart."

If you're anything like myself, I've never thought of gratitude in this way and the bountiful joy that it brings into one's life. Imagine what it would be like to work with patients and your team this way...and how your family will benefit from this simple, yet not utilized, act.

Here's my suggestion...treat every day like it's Thanksgiving...feel gratitude through out your entire being...but maybe without so much pie...it's up to you.

I am thankful for you and the difference you make in the world!
