From Us to You: Thank You

Thanksgiving is just round the corner, and we’re usually looking forward to a big weekend of feasting with our families and friends. This year, however, Thanksgiving celebrations are looking very different.

Celebrations may be smaller and muted in comparison, but we’re no less grateful. If anything, the challenges and trials 2020 has thrown us this year has made us even more grateful.

Here are a few reasons we’re thankful:

Our Health

This almost goes without saying. This year has been a tumultuous one not just for us, but for the whole world as well. Life has turned out very differently for us all since we first rang in the new year.

They say health is wealth, and in this regard, we’re certainly very wealthy. We are so grateful to be alive and healthy and well every single day, especially during these times of crisis.

Our Customers

We’re so thankful to our customers who have chosen to work with us. If you know our story, you’ll know Outstanding Branding first opened our doors in 2016. We started with a dream: To create outstanding products for our clients and provide them with amazing customer service so that they’ll have an outstanding experience working with us.

And we’ve been able to do that only thanks to our clients, who’ve supported us and worked with us through the years. As a small locally-owned business in Winnipeg, we’re grateful that we’ve made it this far and thankful for our clients who’ve also turned into our friends.

So we just wanted to say: Thank you. We appreciate you.

Our Teachers

Some of us at Outstanding Branding are parents, and some of us have teachers in the family. When school switched over to online learning, it was a whole new world.

For some of us, we had to juggle both working and walking through our children’s online learning objectives with our little ones. Let’s just say that it takes a whole lot of patience to be a teacher and we’re so grateful for the work that they do!

Grateful we’re able to be grateful

It sounds a little strange perhaps, but to be able to be grateful means that we have an abundance of blessings in our lives. It's also a choice because it means that we're choosing to focus our time and attention on what we appreciate in our life.

There's also been plenty of well-documented benefits on how gratitude affects your brain and its long lasting benefits, so taking the time to be grateful each day is a practice we try to work on.

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving season? Do you have a gratitude practice or journal? Let us know!
