Thanksgiving is an act. It’s the act of thinking, saying, and showing gratitude.

Gratitude is the state of being. It includes daily appreciation for others. It’s a mindset that sees the advantages hidden in even the worse challenges.

Thanksgiving is rooted in events.

Gratitude is rooted in empathy.

Both are wonderful, but they are distinct.

I’m grateful for you and thank you for taking the time to read this blog.

I’m grateful there are leaders like you who seek innovative ideas, who seek the fringe of creativity, and who dare to make an impact.

Thank you. And enjoy the holiday.
