Tradition | Team EG's Love Letters to Thanksgiving

One of the reasons Thanksgiving is such a special time is that it is purely about time spent with those that mean the most to us. No gifts necessary, other than something special for the host.The greatest gift of all is our presence around the table, sharing memories and making memories alike.

Lessons from Solitude

It feels like things are getting somewhat back to normal.  I am lucky in that I did not lose any friends or family members to COVID.  So to me getting back ot normal means getting out of the house, enjoying the company of friends and family, and slowly getting back to experiencing life as I knew it before everything turned upside-down.

Gratitude

I feel like we have said this every year for the last few years:  Thanksgiving is bound to be a bit different this year.   But some things stay the same. It's an opportunity to pause and be grateful for what we have.  And it's an opportunity to share those things with the important people in our lives.
