Greetings to All, I always look forward to Thanksgiving. It is the only time of the year when our extended family has an opportunity to get together. One of our traditions is to spend a few minutes thinking of those who have passed and are no longer with us. As I age, that list grows, but my memory of them becomes more special. Thanksgiving also reminds me to look at life and the world through a “glass that is half full.” Gratitude is so uplifting. When I reflect, focusing more on gratitude makes me calm and appreciative. This Thanksgiving, I am especially thankful for the dedicated and hard-working volunteers of USA Dance. Through their hard work, we have enjoyed ten consecutive months of membership growth. I am thankful for that. In whatever way you spend Thanksgiving, my wish for each of you is that you have an opportunity to slow life down a bit and enjoy the season. You have been a blessing to me. |
