Wishing You a Happy Thanksgiving

Enjoy time with family and friends this Thanksgiving and give thanks. What are you grateful for?

I am especially grateful this Thanksgiving to welcome my son home from his first semester in college. It has only been 3 months, but it feels like a year. I am grateful that he isn’t homesick, he likes it, and his grades are good!!

I am also grateful (albeit slightly nervous) that my younger son is learning to drive. He is busy this semester as a sophomore and playing winter ball. 

I am grateful for my acupuncture practice, my patients that put their trust in me, and I am happy to help you feel better. 

 

The grateful man sees so much in the world to be thankful for, and with him the good outweighs

the evil-Joseph F. Smith
