It’s been a fairly good, productive week around here! Crazy busy with everything again, but that’s what keeps life fun and interesting, so I suppose it’s all good!
Our guest blogger today is one of our sales team members, Jo Dexter. She is outside of our Idaho office, so we don’t get to see her as often as some other team members, but I really admire her work ethic and willingness to just ‘get in and get it done’ when a task is at hand.
She writes:
With my position at Progressive Publishing, I travel a considerable amount around the U.S. and attend conferences, meetings, farm shows and livestock shows. I am often reminded how blessed I am to have good health, family, friends and prosperity in my life.
It is easy to get caught up in day-to-day activities and life and complain about the little things that are a challenge. But life without family and friends would be empty, and life without good health would be a struggle everyday. Prosperity is not necessary, but it does afford me the ability to experience the world and live comfortably.
During this season of Thanksgiving, many reflect on their lives and give thanks for people and bounty they have. I am no different. People are what make the biggest difference in my life. My travels and experiences have allowed me to meet so many special people that have influenced my days and my life.
All of which I appreciate.
Thank you, Jo! It’s always so important to remember the ones that have helped shape and mold our lives.
In addition to our guest post, I also wanted to share something else with you this week. If you are not a current subscriber to our Progressive Cattleman publication, you missed a great piece of writing by our editor, David Cooper (click here if you’d like to read the entire article). I really enjoyed reading it, and it was another great reminder of how important it is to express gratitude in our lives.
My favorite line is this: “Gratitude is contagious and builds us up as well as others, and fills the spirit the way no other possession can.” Thank you, David! Such a great perspective! May we all keep that in mind, especially during the coming holiday season.
