While I was writing the Gratitude in Action blog before Thanksgiving, coincidentally (or perhaps not so coincidentally), my wonderful husband Neil was putting his gratitude to his clients in action. Included in one of his standard market update emails to clients, was the following thoughtful wisdom. He has given me permission to share it on the blog for the final November Thanksgiving theme post.

"This has been a hard year for all of you financially, and emotionally, there is no question about it. This is a time to count our blessings. Money is a tool to help us live life, but it is not the purpose of life, or at least, it should not be. I am thankful for my lovely wife, my children, my friends, my health, my wonderful country (with all its warts), and for you, my clients, who have sustained me for some 35 years in this business. I feel these last few months has brought me closer to many of you, as we have suffered the worst bear market in the post war period. It is the sort of bonding people do when fighting off wild animals, surviving bombardment from airplanes, or surviving floods and famines. Ok, maybe it's not all that bad. And that is the point; as bad as it has been, there are many people who have seen and survived worse. We will get through this together. Count your blessings and remember what is most important in life.

Neil

Well, there is not much more I can add to this. Gratitude in action. 

You're invitied to share your thoughts too.

If you think that you have just gotten lucky with the deal that you have made on a hermes replica, you might be wrong. You should not waste your money on fake handbags, which you thought are real because the dealer said so. If you have spent hundreds on a "designer bag" from an unfamiliar store, the most probably thing that will happen is that you will not be using that bag for a long time. Real Hermes handbags are not that easy to find. What is more, you just cannot find them in a store that you are not familiar with.In order for you to determine the authenticity of your Hermes handbag, you should always buy from well-known retailers or dealers. While you can buy designer handbags in boutiques, you can always find great bargains if you are patient enough. There are some local dealers that sell hermes birkin for less. However, you are not really sure which sellers are actually telling the truth. While there are local retailers from within your area, you can also find handbag stores online. One such store is Eurohandbag, where you can find different brands of designer handbags, purses, and wallets.
