Happy Thanksgiving: Here’s What We’re Grateful For
NewslettersBy Eric Chetwood, CFP®
If there’s ever a time when we need to stop and take stock of all that we have to be grateful for, it’s now. When we said goodbye to 2020, we started the new year with hope and crossed our fingers for a turnaround. But even though 2021 has brought its own set of challenges, both globally and personally, we still have so much to give thanks for.
Blessings Beyond Measure
As many of you know, I was diagnosed with cancer this year. As my wife and I have navigated that entire unexpected experience—from chemotherapy to recovery to re-envisioning the future—we have a new lease on life, so to speak. When you face trials, you often walk out with a new perspective on what’s really important and on what you want to spend your life investing in. We have been reminded that every day is a gift, and what each of us do with that gift is a choice, whether we know it or not. We can choose each day to be proactive and intentional or allow inertia to determine how we live our lives. Time is precious. Spend it wisely.
A Strong Community
For us, one of the biggest blessings this year was how our community surrounded us in our time of need. We didn’t worry about the little things because our family and friends took care of that for us. We knew our kids were being taken care of and being loved on. We had people from every area of our life—including our incredible client family—praying for us, sending cards, texting, and calling us. We are unspeakably thankful for this support and are even more motivated to build our community and invest in long-term relationships.
The Opportunity to Give Back
Generosity is something I am passionate about. We have so much, and it is such a joy to give to others, to help when someone is struggling, and to give out of our abundance, even if it doesn’t feel like abundance sometimes! Here are my thoughts on the topic and some ways for you to build generosity into your life as we get ready to finish out 2021 and enter a new year.
Serving You!
For us, one of the most important parts of our lives is joining you on your journey and serving you as you pursue your goals. It is truly our joy to celebrate with you when you reach a milestone and support you when life gets shaky. As we reflect on all we’re grateful for this year, we want to make sure to thank you, our clients, for choosing Adams Chetwood Wealth Management to guide you in your financial life. We look forward to investing in you and your family in the future!
