COT:
YHC shared personal story of Thanksgiving traditions of running Turkey Trots and sharing expressions of gratitude around Thanksgiving table. In a particularly difficult and dark time…these traditions languished and it became difficult to find things for which to be grateful….yet there were things…in fact there are almost always things.

Encouraged PAX to look for areas to be grateful this season and also to be mindful that holidays can be tough for some folks including our F3 brothers. Keep an eye on each other.

YHC concluded with sharing his gratitude for the HIM of the Capital Region and how quickly they have become an important part of his life and to the PAX for coming out this morning in the rain.

Happy Thanksgiving!
