‘Tis the Season

The days between Thanksgiving week and the end of the year are always hectic.  Joyous, to be certain, but hectic.  There is so much going on: Christmas decorating and shopping, school vacation for our children, and visits from family and friends, often from afar.

Year-end also brings the close of the Fiscal Year for each of us personally and for some businesses as well.  In addition, it is the renewal date for many insurance policies.  So, there is a lot packed into those last 40 days!

At this time of year, it is important to pause and reflect on the many Blessings we enjoy.  We try, but sometimes it’s hard to put aside all of the demands on our lives, especially from our business/work environment.

But, pause we must.  For even with the challenges and difficulties life has dealt us during 2017, we are all still very Blessed.  We are all fortunate to live in a country that allows us the extraordinary freedom we enjoy.  For that alone, we should be grateful daily and forever honor and respect those in military and first responder uniforms that protect us.

Our reflections on the past year show the continued compassion and resilience of our country.  We disagree on so many political and social issues, but, we are all Americans and we respond to the needs of our own immediately and without reservation.  We saw this with tornados in the mid-west, Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, the fires in wine country of California and in the terrible loss of life with the senseless shootings in Las Vegas and the small church in Texas.

So, let us truly pause and be thankful for the many Blessings we enjoy.  Let us express our gratitude with a simple smile and Thank You to those we meet.  Put on some Holiday Music at home or in the office and take a few minutes to just enjoy and appreciate life.  After all, ‘Tis the Season!

From all of us at Dealer Risk Services and DRS Insurance Group, we Thank You for your Friendship and your Trust in us.  We wish you the very best in Health, Happiness and Prosperity for 2018.
