Happy Thanksgiving!
November 26, 2008 by Mary Ellen
…Too many people in the kitchen, a mummer of conversation and laughter, football in the background…
…Crisp autumn air, piles of fallen leaves in the yard, a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood…
…The smell of turkey, a wood fire in the fireplace, and Aunt Pat’s favorite perfume…
…The farm, my brother’s house, Ann’s, Margie’s…the places we congregate for get-togethers…
Pieces of many Thanksgiving come to mind. From the turkey feast to football fest, Thanksgiving traditions make this Holiday special and a personal favorite.

My favorite relaxation activity, needlepoint, gave me an opportunity to craft a Thanksgiving memento, finished to perfection with ribbons and beads by Petra Dennis, The Needlewoman. It’s comprised of thousands of stitches, each representing people I’m blessed to know and connections we share.
Although the list could go on and on, here are a few items of note:
Those who follow my blog know about the migration from Blogger to WordPress and Joomla to WordPress. Thanks goes to Maria Nozza, My Graphics Notebook for making it happen. Instead of a destination, I got a process and the real work now begins.
MARKETLINK, an intensive course for entrepreneurs, which I’ve been facilitating, completes in the next two weeks. I’m grateful to each of the 13 participants for their participation and dedication. And, I’m reminded of that saying: “You never learn as much as when you teach.” I’m grateful too to WESST for giving me the opportunity to lead the group. Thank you.
AIBA – Albuquerque Independent Business Alliance – concludes another great year with a Board meeting this Wednesday. My hat is off to my fellow Board members. Thanks for your commitment and loyalty and continued service in 2009 as I move into Mary Schmidt’s big presidential shoes.
Without a doubt, I couldn’t have accomplished nearly as much without the support of my mastermind, Coach Karen Van Cleve and Coach Rachelle Disbennett-Lee. Ladies, I’m grateful for your support.
Thank you to each client. It’s been a pleasure to work with you during the past year. I appreciate your confidence in me and I’m excited about the promotions we’ve created together.
To my readers: thank you as well. Your loyalty means a lot. I look forward to our continued association.
“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” William Arthur Ward
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
