Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the people in our lives who lift us up when we’re down and cheer us on when we’re on a roll. It’s a time to sit together as a community and pause to count all the blessings in our lives. The past few years have been tough for a lot of people, and I know that many are hurting this holiday season. But I want you to know that during this season of coming together, you are not alone, and there are people who care about you and ready to support you.

On a personal note, I give thanks to my family for standing by me. I give thanks to my community, full of people striving to make tomorrow even better. Have a happy – and safe – Thanksgiving.
