The holiday season will soon be
with us once again. Nights are getting colder, the brightly colored leaves are
beginning to fall in the States, and everyone is getting out their winter
wardrobes. The chilly weather reminds us that its time to begin planning the
annual holiday visits and family get-togethers. Like many of you, I suspect, my
spirits are always lifted as Thanksgiving Day approaches.
The spirit of gratitude and
giving back that is the hallmark of the season helps to keep life in
perspective and reminds me what is really important. I am particularly excited
this year, as all of our relatives have confirmed that they will be visiting us
here in Chicago. It’s going to be a great holiday here at the Thornton house!
