Counting my blessings Tuesday, November 24, 2020
Nov. 24. 2020
NCTA Dean’s Message by Larry Gossen, Ph.D.
Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays, partly because it kicks off a month of preparation for Christmas. However, in its own right, Thanksgiving is a special holiday that should be celebrated and honored.
I find this time of year a natural period of reflection on the many blessings we enjoy in our lives. In the past year I have found many reasons to be thankful. I also find myself thankful for the little things that have been taken for granted for a long while.
