The years keep on ticking by. Have you reached your goals for 2019? There’s still a little time before the roaring ’20s begin.

Have you made some time to relax, to try something new, for a little vacation? There’s still a little time.

Everybody needs a little time away . . .

Don’t let change throw you off of your goals and your peace. The only thing that is certain is change. Yes, change happens. Challenges, struggles and surprises are a part of life and business, but the money always seems to work out.

I sure enjoy some sushi! Just as much as turkey and green beans and pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving, I do believe. Oishiya, 219, Fin Fusion, Cathay, Lemongrass—I recommend exploring them all.

The Titans have given the fans some excitement since Tannehill has erupted onto the scene, thrown some strikes and run over some defenders. Make a playoff run!

Someone advised me a few years ago that small business owners and sales professionals should calculate their needed annual budget, divide that by 11, and make their sales numbers by November so they can take December off to attend holiday parties and functions, network, volunteer, visit with family, plan the next year, travel, read, deliver gifts to their clients—well, I think it is a grand idea, but I’ve not hit it yet. So, ad space is still for sale this month!

Visit the orphans and the widows. Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy.

A quick visit with someone who is alone may very well mean a great deal to them, especially if they are going through dark times. 

Appreciate those around you. Stay focused on your goals, make an effort to surround yourself with talent and values, and a solution may just present itself.

I hope everyone has something to be thankful for and that the spirit of Thanksgiving carries on all throughout the year. May the blessings continue.

I have Bracken Jr. telling spooky stories by the fire and making train drawings, Sarah fixin’ up soups and singing Christmas tunes . . . good times! Life is good, God is great.

As the Z-Train reminds us: “5 Fs forever!” May the end of the year be filled with family, faith, food, football and friends.
