What Should You Do Over the Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend?

Today, our youngest son flies in from Philadelphia. Tomorrow our oldest son flies in with his family. How much work will I be doing? A lot! I will be smoking a turkey, serving them, playing games, eating, drinking, and spending time together. No rest for the weary!

How much work will I do on my businesses? None. NaDa. Zip. Zero.

Why?

First, can I ever replace the family opportunity? Each opportunity lost is lost forever.

Second, I need a change of pace, some rest, and to get emotionally recharged. Monday, the 30^th, will come soon enough and I will be ready to go. I will be refreshed, more charged up, and ready to push the pedal to the metal.

Third, I am not in this alone. My family is a primary support system. I need them as much as they need me. If I help them get refreshed and valuing what is most important then they can be ready to continue supporting me in the coming months.

Finally, this is a time of Thanksgiving. No matter what my circumstance or your circumstance may be, we all have a lot to be thankful for. Just like the song, “Count your blessings. Name them one by one.” I will personally thank my Lord, Jesus Christ. A positive attitude is dependent upon realizing that no matter how bad we may perceive things are, there are always others in far worse shape. Besides, the “sun will come out tomorrow” and “Tomorrow is another day.” New opportunities are waiting for us to find them.
