I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone who has touched my life in some way a Happy Thanksgiving. Everyone is so busy with friends, family and work that as a society we don’t just stop enough anymore and feel true gratitude and thanks for all the people we have in our lives, and in all the different roles they play in our lives. In fact, too often we feel ungrateful because we want more or expect more from those people in our lives. Allow the Holiday season to serve as a reminder the cherish and appreciate every person in your life and focus on the happiness they bring to you. In that state of happiness, thank them, preferably with a sincere hug. Allow them to feel the importance of what they have added to your life. Christmas brings with it the season of giving, but lets not get caught up in what has become a materialistic celebration of 'I want' and 'things we really don't need'... I challenge everyone to give more of yourself (from your heart) and less ‘stuff’. Share your time and your love with those in your life. Give of yourself and not because you have to or should, but because you want to. I have painfully learned that the only way we truly appreciate the people in our lives is to loose them, either to death or circumstance. While this is sad for me to say, I look at the silver lining because I can share these heartfelt feelings with you and maybe in some way help you appreciate even more every person you come in contact with - good or bad. They all have purpose in our lives and they are each a gift to us that is precious and fragile. Life is far too short and filled with far too many good-byes... So, I write this to say “I am thankful for YOU”, for being part of my life in whatever capacity you have been in the past, and I wish you all the gratitude, thankfulness and love the world has to offer. May we all learn to look past our faults and pull down the walls that separate us - everyone deserves to be loved... Happy Thanks Giving - may we learn to live in the spirit of the holidays all year long... With Gratitude, Brad www.bradgarbus.com While I would love nothing more than to spend the holidays with all of you, please know the happiness in my heart comes from the memories that we have shared and hopes of many more in the future! You will be in my heart and on my mind. |
