Happy Thanksgiving - 2009

This year, much of what I am thankful for is made up of things I have had for a long time — loving and successful children and their significant others with whom I have wonderful relationships, an extended family that is warm, generous and understanding, and steadfast friends who stand by me no matter what.

There are new things to be thankful for also. The job layoff that at first appeared disastrous but actually gave me the chance to get my financial house in order, the new job that has brought fulfillment and joy back into my professional life, and a newfound resiliency that helps me feel calm and centered.

As I’ve said before, life may not be perfect, but it is so much better. This Thanksgiving, my wish for everyone is to find their inner strength to buoy them over hard times and to rediscover the joy and happiness that can only come from finding contentment and peace.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
