If you can believe it, Thanksgiving is here! And while this year is quite different than years past, one thing remains the same, it is a holiday to reflect on our blessings. No matter what happened this year, we can all agree that it helped us realize what is truly important so this Thanksgiving, be sure to make gratitude the centerpiece of your holiday table.
