Something to Remember this Thanksgiving

While it is fun to think of Thanksgiving as a great big feast, complete with mashed potato eating contests and pie bake-offs, I always try to get my family back to the basics in the holiday season. While my kids are almost grown now, with Devyn being the youngest at 16, I find that the cheesy lessons that we used to teach them about being thankful still ring true in their near-grown up lives.

This spirit is no different at our office than it is at home. Many people that first call our office feel like they’re at a low point in their lives. They are downtrodden with hefty debts, harassing phone calls, piles of overdue notices, and worse. They don’t feel good about what’s happening in their lives. But, when they come into our offices, their spirits lift. Why? Because if today is your lowest point, you can only go up from here.

The feeling of being out from under the burden of debt is sometimes hard to imagine when you’re in the thick of it. However, as you’ll hear me say, doing nothing changes nothing. The minute you start doing something about your situation is the minute that you can start to clearly see just how much there is to give thanks for—and start giving it.

So, that is what I want to bestow upon you this Thanksgiving season. Be thankful for your friends, your family, and that tomorrow is a new day.
