Now that you have had a few days and been challenged to reflect on what and who you are grateful for in your life, how will you change?
The “Thanksgiving” holiday brings out some of the most interesting behaviors in people. It is now a time to reflect on what you have learned about the others in your clan, your community or your own household.
How might you take the words you acknowledged while talking to people about your“Gratefulness” and now putting those sentences into something more positive?
Rewarding outcomes for others and for yourself.
If you said you were grateful for your work/job as an example, how might you enhance the work you are doing each day to use your job as a platform.
A work platform for increased quality to create, design and deliver better solutions that provide an even more valuable result, for someone or some entity.
Is your work just one step in a multi-step process? How might you make the process more efficient, more effective or even more reliable?
If you said you were grateful for your family, how might you improve the relationships you have with your siblings, your cousins and even your Mother or Father?
What is just one way you could show your family member, that you trust them, love them and appreciate their continuous contributions?
Will you change your behavior going forward, based upon all that you have learned this past week?
Will you acknowledge your own thoughts and feelings about others, yet make the changes necessary to improve your important and vital relationships?
These two words “Thank You” are far more powerful, than you may ever realize.
These words are the beginning of a dialogue about something that is important or so vital to you.
Acknowledge it in a way, that the other person truly knows you are grateful.

Look them right in the eyes when you say it, or even with an appropriate emoji. If you have been successful, you will know it. Hopefully, they will acknowledge your kind words in some way.
Our personal and work environments are moving so rapidly and the ability to slow down just enough to actually Appreciate, Reflect and to Communicate effectively, is such a continuous challenge. Yet worth every minute of focus.
“Thank you” for all that you are doing, to make this place more effective, more livable, more comfortable, more enjoyable, more laughable, more loving, more faithful and more peaceful. You know who you are…
