Gratitude

The definition of "Gratitude" according to Merriam-Webster's dictionary: the state is being grate: or thankfulness.  

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States.  Thanksgiving means lots of turkey, dressing, and all kinds of other really tasty food.  It also is a time that we give thanks for all of our blessings.  I want to take the opportunity today to talk about the things I am grateful for.

First off, I'm thankful to God for everything.  Without God nothing else would matter. I want to thank my parents.  Obviously, without them I would not exist.  HAHA! Thank you to my wonderful wife Stacy. We have now known each other for 10.5 years, and have been married for 9.5.  I love you so much and I am very thankful for you.  I am thankful for my children, Ethan and Hannah Grace.  Children really do change everything.  

I am very thankful to all of our wonderful clients.  Every single one of you.  If it wasn't for our clients, I would be unable to be in business as a professional photographer.  You guys allow me to be able to work in a profession that I love, and I totally realize it wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for you.  

I am thankful for so many other things, but if I wrote everything out I would still be writing at Christmas.  So I'm gonna stop at that.

I hope everyone today takes a moment to talk about gratitude with your family while you enjoy your turkey.  Don't forget what today is really all about.
