November is here and it’s time to give thanks. What a great idea. November kicks off the Holidays! We love the holidays. But sadly, we sometimes see such a hurry to rush right to Christmas that we forget that November is “The Thankful Month”, a time to stop and give thanks. It is healthy to stop and reflect on all that we have to be thankful for. We still live in the greatest nation on earth! And we are a free country. One nation under God! The United States of America. We made it through COVID as a nation. I know things have been difficult for many of us the last few years, but when we maintain a thankful attitude, not only is our health better but also our outlook and our relationships are better. A thankful heart reflects a positive attitude.
Those of you who know me personally know that I have had a lot of tragedy in my own family this year. But there are always reasons to be thankful. So, I encourage you this month that no matter how difficult things may seem at times, enter into a time of thanksgiving and stop to count your blessings. It will lift you up above the difficult of circumstances and give you a new outlook on the wonderful holidays ahead. I want to thank all of my faithful readers and I want to thank all of my faithful clients who have put their trust in us, The deSoto Team, for their real estate needs. It is a great

“November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.
With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.
The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring.”
– Elizabeth Coatsworth
