Happy Thanksgiving│ Living With an Attitude of Gratitude

Happy Thanksgiving│ Living With an Attitude of Gratitude

Posted by Financial Strategies Group in Giving More, Newsletters 03 Dec 2025

As we step into this season of reflection (and the week of Thanksgiving), we find ourselves thinking about what it means to truly live with an attitude of gratitude.

This time of year always provides a chance for us to pause. Amidst the beginning of holiday parties and extra time with family and friends, it’s a chance for us to step out of the rush of routines and responsibilities and to focus on the people, moments, and experiences that matter most in our lives.

Gratitude is more than a feeling; it’s a perspective if we allow it to be. It’s the choice to recognize the good, even in seasons of uncertainty. Honestly, especially during those times of uncertainty. It’s the awareness that the relationships surrounding us, the opportunities we’ve been given, and even the challenges we’ve weathered all play a role in shaping who we are and who we’re becoming. It’s taking the time to appreciate what we want to hold onto and find ways to work towards what we’d like to spend more time on, or areas where we feel we could grow and improve.

Our team loves to use this time every year to reflect on what we’re each thankful for and what we’d like to continue showing appreciation for in the season ahead.

“ I am grateful to have Kimberly and my family; to have found a profession that has given me endless fulfillment and purpose; and to live in a world where the only limits to our adventures are those yet unimagined” – Hank

“I’m grateful for family and friends.”- Nick

“Grateful for my healthy new granddaughter Camryn!”- Kim

“I’m grateful for my dog, Augustus, ‘Gus’.” – Carrie

“I’m grateful for the good health my family and I enjoy, for my amazing wife, and for the blessing of living in a place where it feels like summer all year round.”- Matt

“I’m especially grateful to celebrate the holidays this year with our family, friends, Rye, and Camryn!”- Jenni

“I’m truly grateful that those I care most about are healthy.”- Chris

“I’m grateful for the people who have shown up for me in small, but meaningful ways.”- Jocelyn

We are so grateful for the trust you place in us, and for the conversations we have with each of you every day. These are the things that truly matter to us and the things we don’t take for granted.

We hope the weeks ahead bring you a sense of peace, joy, and appreciation for the blessings in your own life.

May this season remind us all to lead with gratitude. Not just this week, but throughout the year.
