News channels keep people updated. We're inundated with negative news stories daily. Negative news(COVID) stories can impact our brains. News runs on advertising dollars, so the more drama (negativity), the longer you watch.   

"More than half of Americans say watching negative news can increase anxiety and fatigue, or sleep loss.American Psychological Association 

Let's not forget that there is another less newsworthy side, where there is hope for the future to carry us forward. These past few weeks, we've had positive news, with much-needed vaccines coming out with a high degree of efficacy; these developments are something optimistic to monitor.   


Every darker night has a brighter morning. Everything moves in waves, flows, and cycles. There is no doubt that we are in a valley or slump with COVID-19 and its effect on the economy. However, if you stop to look around you, life goes on.   


We are fortunate to have different companies fulfill their demands in this situation. In many places, the need for food, packaging, and medical orders has gone up, not down. This has a stabilizing effect on our business, for which we are grateful.   


Always being grateful is not enough, but positively completing a task and achieving the target is more ambitious. At our company, we have had some of the best, most creative, forward-thinking discussions with our trusted team members during COVID-19. It amazes me that once we get deeper into the conversations, we block all negativity and confusion. We are genuinely excited about the future.

So, let's talk about gratitude. I appreciate that everyone will have a list of things to be thankful for and varying degrees of gratitude.


Here are a few things to remind you why you should be grateful at Thanksgiving.


  1. Health:  If you are in good health, consider all those affected by COVID-19 or other ailments. COVID-19, the numbers rise every day. If you involve yourself wholeheartedly in your daily routine, it is the best solution to your efforts.


  2. Work: With unemployment and economic uncertainty, we must be grateful that we have work to do. Work is subordinate to life when you work sincerely to get the satisfaction of the work. All jobs help contribute to the economy and support your community. 


  3. Friends, Family, Community: Follow government guidelines to survive and maintain your existence. I'm grateful to have family, friends, and colleagues you can regularly connect with and interact with. It's important to note that physical distancing doesn't have to mean social distancing. echn ogy may have helped people stay connected during the pandemic.



Why be grateful at Thanksgiving? There are so many other reasons to be thankful; if you are having trouble thinking of some, start small and build from there. As time passes, the global scenario will change, and the matter will subside.
