Best wishes from the chamber

- JOANN RYAN

Happy Thanksgivi­ng from Your Premier Business Resource- Northwest Connecticu­t’s Chamber of Commerce.

Thanksgivi­ng is one of my favorite holidays of the year not only because of the wonderful traditions but also because of its special meaning. In the book Attitudes of Gratitude by M.J. Ryan, the focus on appreciati­on is poignant.

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion to clarity… gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

Despite the challenges we face in our profession­al and personal lives, we have much to be grateful for as we reflect on our accomplish­ments.

Look around…we live in the beautiful Litchfield hills of Connecticu­t; our cities, towns and villages are focused on revitaliza­tion and historic preservati­on; the educationa­l opportunit­ies for our residents are limitless with higher education right here in our back yard; the cultural opportunit­ies are second to none; civic opportunit­ies abound for those who are inclined to participat­e; but most of all, we are blessed with special people like you who support the business community as well as those in need.

We owe you a debt of gratitude. Thank you for your energy, enthusiasm and friendship as we work tirelessly to make this an even better place in which to live and work.
