Happy Thanksgiving

There are so many things to be thankful for year round, but isn’t it great that there’s a day designated just to giving thanks? We think so. We want to start a little early this year though, since we have been abundantly blessed. Here are some of the things we are most grateful for and you should be too!

1. Teeth – seriously, what would we do without them? The way we eat and speak would be radically different without our chompers.
2. Braces – as great as teeth are, sometimes they need a little help reaching their full potential. For that, we’re grateful for braces that help them get there.
3. San Antonio – this great city of ours just gets better every year. It’s our home and it’s a wonderful, beautiful one.
4. Freedom – this is easily one of the most taken for granted gifts of all. The fact that you’re able to go to the church of your choice on Sundays, vote for whichever candidate you’d like, and roam the internet freely to find this blog is no small thing. Many around the world don’t enjoy the same freedom.
5. A blue sky – isn’t it lovely? Have you looked up today to appreciate it?
6. Turkey – there always seems to be enough of it and it’s delicious.
7. Community – our San Antonio community is definitely special. It’s always amazing to watch San Antonians come together to help others in need, particularly during the holiday season – take the Raul Jimenez Thanksgiving Dinner and the Great Turkey Challenge 5K as examples!
8. Each other – we’re thankful for our patients, families, and friends. Don’t ever take yours for granted!

This list doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of reasons to be grateful. Nevertheless, here’s to a wonderful Thanksgiving. Stop tomorrow to really think about why you’re celebrating. May you eat as much as you can, but still find that your heart is fuller than your belly.
