While we in the United States celebrate Thanksgiving today, everyone should no doubt be able to reflect on the things they give thanks for. My list is so very long. It includes our management and staff, our clients, our vendors, and colleagues. My wife and family are blessings in my life. The fact that I’m fortunate to live in a country that affords us so many freedoms is also something to give thanks for.

The fact that our firm managed to weather this severe market downturn offers us something to give thanks for. We know that this past year has been a challenging one for just about everyone, with many who suffered greatly. We’re seeing a turnaround and look forward to much improvement in the coming year.

Perhaps this year I’m most thankful for the birth of our grandson, Brady, who will turn four months old this coming Tuesday.

We wish you and your family a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving.
