Family, football, turkey, pumpkin pie…whatever Thanksgiving Day means to you, I hope you are getting a chance to enjoy it. So as I take time to reflect on the past year, I want to share with you my own reasons for giving thanks.

I am thankful for my beautiful wife and wonderful children. Family gives us roots, strength, comfort, and that very special spot on this earth where one can relax and experience the blessing of giving and receiving love. When you are with your family, wherever it is, you are home.

I am thankful that I live in a world where a person like me, with a dream and the commitment to work hard, can build a business that is solid, rewarding, and serves its customers well. Sell My Timeshare NOW was little more than a great idea four years ago. Today, we provide the livelihood for nearly 100 people in Dover, New Hampshire; Orlando, Florida, and a few other venues across the US.

I am thankful that some very talented and hardworking people have committed their skills, wisdom, and work hours to helping me build and grow Sell My Timeshare NOW. The people with whom I work are not just employees and friends—they are my extended family.

And finally I am thankful that I live in a country where my vote counts, and where I am not only permitted the privilege of voting, but I have the right to speak out about how I vote, why I vote, and even tell others how I think they should vote. Everyone from Hollywood to Hoboken is free to express their opinions in this country and the rest of us are equally free to listen to them or ignore them as we see best. That’s an incredible amount of freedom. It’s proven to be one worth fighting for, one worth dying for, and absolutely one worth being thankful for.

Have a wonderful holiday and please take time to reflect on all the reasons you have for giving thanks.
