Just a friendly reminder to my fellow lovers of the St. Patty's Day Weekend Holiday!! With St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone to prioritize safety during the celebrations. While it's a time for fun and festivities, it's essential to make responsible choices to ensure that everyone enjoys the holiday safely. Here are a few friendly reminders: 1. Plan Ahead: If you're planning to celebrate, make sure you have a plan in place for getting home safely. Arrange for a designated driver, use rideshare services, or public transportation. 2. Stay Hydrated: Whether you're enjoying a pint of green beer or not, staying hydrated is crucial. Alternate alcoholic beverages with water and pace yourself throughout the day or evening. 3. Watch Out for Each Other: Keep an eye out for your friends and colleagues. If someone appears to have had too much to drink, offer assistance in getting them home safely. 4. Avoid Drinking and Driving: It's never worth the risk. If you've been drinking, please don't get behind the wheel. There are plenty of alternatives available to ensure you get home safely. Let's make sure this St. Patrick's Day is remembered for all the right reasons. Have a fantastic time celebrating, but please remember to prioritize safety above all else. Wishing you all a happy and safe St. Patrick's Day!

As we enter November, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of year-end goals and holiday preparations. This season can be busy, but it’s also the perfect time to pause, reflect, and appreciate the people and moments that bring meaning to our lives. In my family, we have a tradition of daily gratitude, sharing something we’re thankful for each day. We even decorate a craft pumpkin with the thoughts shared and it becomes our thanksgiving centerpiece. It’s a simple but powerful practice that reminds us to appreciate one another and the journey we’re on together. I invite you to join in, whether at work or home. Consider taking a moment each day to share a note of gratitude—a quick “thank you” to a colleague, a call to a friend, or a written reflection. These small gestures build a culture of appreciation and help us stay grounded, even in the busiest times. Let’s make this holiday season about more than just tasks and to-do lists. Let’s make it a time to celebrate the good, lift each other up, and carry that gratitude into the new year. What are you thankful for today? #gratitude #holidays #workplaceculture

Tomorrow is my favorite holiday. We celebrate many holidays and events in our house, some with much greater pomp, circumstance, and fanfare than Thanksgiving. But for me, Thanksgiving remains my favorite. It is the least commercialized, despite the day after becoming the biggest retail event of the year. It is one of the few where businesses actually close or allow employees time off to celebrate. All can celebrate it – no need to be born to a certain clan, no need to identify with any special group, no requirement to believe a specific doctrine. It is based on a simple concept and celebrations are also simple. Thanksgiving is a day to reflect on the current, past, and future things we have experienced that we can be thankful for. And everyone has SOMETHING that they can find in their life to cherish and be grateful for. Our celebrations consist of gathering together… family, friends or just another warm breathing human… many times traveling great distances to do what? Sit down and break bread together, enjoy a meal, enjoy the fellowship of others. Human Beings were created and wired for relationships. The accelerating fast pace of life, brought about by innovation, inventions and increasing dependence on technology, tends to pull us away or dilute our relationships. I am thankful that we still have at least one holiday dedicated and devoted to what we created and wired for in our core. I’m in the 4th Quarter of my life game. I’m not sure if the quarter just started or if I am close to the 2-minute warning. But I am sure that as the clock ticks, the relationships I have developed in the preceding 3 quarters are more important than all the plays, cheers from the stands, flags thrown to let me know when I’m off track, and accolades for scores. The things gained from the relationships and the people who have been part are what I am most thankful for. If you are reading this, then you have played a part. Some parts were small, some huge, but all treasured. Know that I am thankful for you. Enjoy your day tomorrow.

Dear All, Welcome back after the Christmas holidays, which I hope have been restful and relaxed. We need these breaks, as the years pass. Our lives and our work are shaped by conventional seasons, and they’re not always decided by us. Time is everything: our decisions, our lives, what happens to us can change due to the timing of events and/or decisions. Having vision, imagining what to do “with the eyes of the mind” and then doing it at the right time... Read the complete message from our President Lino Di Betta here👉 https://lnkd.in/dPr3icPF
