The big thing I'm thankful for

25 November 2009

I started to write a blog post like those I’ve written on Thanksgivings past about the things I’m grateful for. Gratitude is so important, and I absolutely love that we have a national holiday devoted to it.

But this year, I’d just like to highlight one thing that I am so humbly thankful for: the opportunity I have as an organizer to have a positive impact on the life of my clients.

The other day I received a thank-you note from the just-married daughter of a long-term client. I’d sent a wedding gift and she wrote me a great thank you. It said, in part,

“Just so you know, all the time I spent watching you help my mom has rubbed off on me and I am happier and feel freer to live the life I want. What a great way to start a marriage!”

That completely made my day. It made me realize that I not only help individuals, I help their family members. And I make a living at it. It’s amazing.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
