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
