This week’s 2-Minute Monday Personal Injury Healthcare mindset is about giving thanks.
A Week of Gratitude: Giving Thanks, Not Just on Thursday (Thanksgiving)
As we head into Thanksgiving week, I want to pause. Not to look ahead the way we do at Christmas and New Year’s—but to look back.
Because this holiday isn’t about resolutions or reinvention. It’s about appreciation.
At Thanksgiving, we take stock of the gifts we often rush past the rest of the year—the gift of life, the gift of love, the gift of friends and family,
the gift of the patients whose lives we’ve touched, and the people whose sacrifices lifted us when we needed it most.
And I want to add something deeply personal here: Thank you to each of you, the medical providers and staff who devote their lives to relieving or removing pain. Pain that keeps people from working, from sleeping, from enjoying life, from simply being themselves.
To me, you each are heroes. Your work restores dignity, movement, hope, and humanity every single day.
Thanksgiving is a truly special time. So let’s not limit it to Thursday. Let’s reflect and give thanks all week long.
Don’t just think “thanks,” say it. Make the phone call. Send the message. Have the coffee. Share the meal. And let the people who shaped you, personally and professionally, know exactly how much they mean to you.
And I want to give special gratitude to a group too often taken for granted: our military service members, our police officers, and all first responders.
These men and women put their lives on the line so we can live safely, work freely, and gather with our families in peace. For those serving abroad this holiday, I hope you feel our gratitude. You matter. You stood up. And today, we stand to applaud you.
So, during this Thanksgiving week, let’s reflect, let’s remember, and above all, let’s take action to thank the people who mattered and who still matter.
Happy Thanksgiving!
