So Thankful, Today and Everyday

Hello & welcome back! We are posting on a different day this week to accommodate the Thanksgiving holiday and official kick-off of the most festive time of year. As you all are bustling around town gathering ingredients for Turkey Day recipes and maybe even doing a little early holiday shopping, we hope you're taking some extra time to just enjoy the moment and all we have to be thankful for.


It will be so easy to get distracted over the next month or so by the shopping, decorating, parties, and stress of hosting and entertaining. If you're like us, you have to remind yourself to just be in the moment and count your blessings this season. We think this Thanksgiving and the upcoming holiday season are particularly special because we all need a reminder to be grateful for our abundance of blessings. Forget about all the recent political hoopla, say a prayer for the family and friends of those who are sick or have lost loved ones lately, and hold close to your heart those that are struggling this season. 


We feel tremendous gratitude as a company for so many things, and last week, your resident blogger sent out a message to agents and staff requesting gratitude lists. The responses were heartwarming, and absolutely reaffirmed that our ERA family has some of the warmest, kindest, and most genuine people working each day for all of you. What do you notice about each item on this list? They're not things -- and it certainly puts everything in perspective when we look at what we cherish most in our lives.


This week, we'd like to share just a few of the things we are most thankful for this year.

  • Family - immediate and extended
  • Friends near and far, old and new 
  • Faith
  • Good health 
  • Children 
  • Grandchildren
  • Nieces & nephews
  • Our brave military men and women
  • Fulfilling jobs we love
  • Wonderful clients
  • Husbands, wives, significant others
  • Adventures throughout the year
  • Life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness
  • Our Country
  • Our homes
  • Support in our careers
  • Fabulous co-workers and colleagues
  • This holiday season
  • Pets

We hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving and can spend time enjoying the holiday with your family and friends. What are you thankful this season and always? Share with us!
