A time to be thankful

Recently my Sundays have been filled with food, friends, women, and fun. In my opinion there are not many better ways to spend a Sunday. Sitting around having some cocktails, cooking an elaborate dinner and relishing in the moments of an all too fast weekend. The weekends come and they go. Before you realize it the summer is gone and the holiday season is here. Friends and family, the sometimes overwhelming but fun holiday season is upon us.

Regardless of whether you celebrate the holiday, its is always a good time to stop and think what we you have in life to be thankful for. I myself am thankful for the following things:

My family
My friends
My job
My ability to exercise
My health
My positive and optimistic outlook on life
My hobbies

So if you've read this far stop for a second and write down the things in your life that you are thankful to have been given, blessed with, worked for, or that have simply fallen into your lap by chance. To forget the things that you are thankful for is when you begin to overlook the people and things that are crucial to maintaining a healthy life balance.

So everyone never forget, someone out there is compiling a list of they are thankful for this holiday season, and one of the things on that list just might be your name. Be thankful for that, but never forget it either. We all rely on others for something in some form or fashion.

Happy Thanksgiving!
