Gratitude from H3

grat·i·tude

Noun: The quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.

With food to prepare, family in town, football games and preparing for Black Friday, it’s easy to blow right past Thanksgiving and its true meaning.  This is one of my favorite holidays because there is so much love and care surrounding it.  I always strive to force some time into this busy season to reflect on all my blessings.

Yesterday, as the management team of H3 gathered for our weekly meeting, I asked each one of them to share what they are most thankful for because that also allows me to learn and appreciate what they value most.  I would like to take a moment to share my own gratitude list, as well as those of my fellow team… and of course encourage you to do the same!  Here goes:

Gratitude from H3:

Robert Moore, President - I am thankful for my health, my family and for the privilege of living in a beautiful place. When I left my home of thirty years to come to H3, I joined a loving, caring and talented family—I am very grateful that I have the opportunity to know the wonderful staff and Guests of Hilton Head Health.
