Here in the US, we’re officially celebrating Thanksgiving. While we’re spending this one day with friends and family being thankful for the bounty and abundance in our lives, I hope you’ll take the time every single day to express gratitude for what’s going on in your life.

We know how easy it is to be grateful for the good things but it’s not so easy to be grateful for what’s not going our way. I bet even in the midst of that, there’s at least one good thing going on.
A couple of years ago, I broke my leg and knee in a bike riding accident. It took 5 surgeries, a 2 week hospital stay and 4 months of pain killers and non-weight bearing. When I did start to walk again, I practically had to learn how all over again. But there were good things both then and now:

• I had an excellent surgeon and today I have almost full use of my leg and knee
• My church family provided meals for my family for over a month. Members stopped by to visit and sent cards.
• I was able to keep working since I could still use the telephone and email!
• I have wood floors downstairs so I was able to “scoot around” on my desk chair and be fairly mobile
• My children and parents were really there for me. Mom and Dad spent 2 weeks at my house to take care of us. My kids provided daily massages to keep the circulation moving in my foot.
• I had a great pain doctor who was willing to try different therapies until we found ones that worked
• The friend who drove an hour at 10:00 pm to see me in the hospital when I freaked out.
• Another friend who brought me my computer so I’d have something to do. 
• My chiropractor who kept things adjusted.
• My friend who took me to the warm therapy pool to swim and stretch out.
• The acupuncturists who came to my home for treatments and helped me totally relax – ahhhh!

Today, I’m going to be officially grateful that I’m healed from that injury, for my parents, kids, a warm house (with freshly painted doors and trims courtesy of my wonderful Dad), being alive and healthy, my dog, my friends and business partners and the opportunities that come my way every day.

I’m also especially grateful to each and every one of you because you are all helping me to fulfill my mission to help people get out of debt and have financial well-being and peace of mind. Thank you for allowing me into your Inbox and your life.

So, from me to you, Happy Thanksgiving – every day of your life!

Warmly, Cindy
