Thankful for Our Bengals!
November 15, 2019
What is something that you’re grateful for this Thanksgiving? Your family? That precious iPhone XR? Or better yet. . . that new car you can finally drive?
The time has finally come where you sit down and think about what you value the most, and as you get that feeling of awareness about the specific thing that is so important to you, your fondness grows, and it’s called appreciation.
Anyone can be appreciative about something. It doesn’t matter how relevant it might be. You can have a rubber ducky floating in your bath tub and still be thankful. I’m appreciative of a lot of things, but I’m pretty sure others do too. Let’s see what they have to say in our comments section below. . .
