Thanksgiving Day is not just about going shopping and finding the best deal you can find or eating so much food you have to go up a pants size. To me Thanksgiving is a time where families come together and people fellowship. Each year the world sort of stands still around the dinner table and we are able to feast and reflect back on all the things we are thankful for. I can tell you that the thing I am most thankful for is my family. I am fortunate and very blessed to get to spend time with them around the holidays. I am also thankful for my job if you can even call it that. I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to get up every morning and chase my dreams. I get to go to the golf course and influence people’s lives each and every day. God has really blessed me and I am truly thankful for that. November starts my favorite time of year and Thanksgiving is sort of the beginning of the holiday season. People start putting out their Christmas lights and start getting into the giving mood. Not to mention that there are always some pretty good football games on. So, this Thanksgiving instead of sitting around the table talking about the presidential election results or what Kanye West is up to, I challenge you all to talk about the things you are thankful for. Is it your family, your job, your dogs, the Cowboys being 8-1, or maybe looking forward to playing golf tomorrow? Whatever it is I challenge you to let people know especially the ones you care most about. That, my friends, is what Thanksgiving means to me!
Happy Thanksgiving!
