GIFT OF TIME

November ushers in the season of Thanksgiving and the joy of bringing families together for the holidays.  It also signals the ending of Daylight Savings Time and that wonderful feeling of gaining an extra hour early Sunday morning. 

If you’re like most people you’ll look at that extra hour as an “extra hour to sleep in” but the reality is that our bodies are pretty well timed to sleep the same amount of time, so more than likely you won’t really be sleeping an extra hour Sunday morning.  What you’ll find is that during the day on Sunday you’ll feel pretty good about the fact that you’re an hour ahead of where you usually are and hope that you can get a few extra things done before the new workweek begins.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I would like to challenge each of you to consider that extra hour as a time for random acts of kindness.  What can you do this weekend to help out your neighbors…maybe return a cart from the parking lot to the store you’re visiting, or maybe hold the door for people coming behind you as you enter that store? I plan to write out a few notes to friends and family telling them how thankful I am that they are part of my life.  What can you do?

So when you’re turning your clocks back early Sunday morning, think about what you can do to make a difference in that hour and remember that at Tropical Financial Credit Union we are thankful for our members and for being part of such an amazing community!
