Thank you

As we move towards Thanksgiving, I like to take a little time to think about all that I am grateful for. At times, we all get caught up in the hectic schedule (both social and work) that seems to be the hallmark of a Dubai Lifestyle. We work long hours and fill every free minute with one of the million and one things going on in this bustling place at any one time. We are able to keep ourselves forever busy. And while that may lead to incredibly enriching experiences, for both us and our children, we sometimes forget to pause and reflect on what we are doing and not just looking for the next thing to do. When we forget to pay attention, we forget to be grateful and thankful for all that we have. 

So whether you are American or not...why not take time to remind yourself of all that you are grateful for. Research has shown that grateful people are healthier and happier than those that are not. Why not start each day with a reminder of what you are thankful for. I leave you with this...one of my favorite clips on YouTube. I think we should all start our day reminding ourselves what we love and what we are grateful for. :o)
