By Antonio Porretta
If there’s ever a time when we need to stop and take stock of all that we have to be grateful for, it’s now. With 2020 in the rearview mirror, many of us started the new year with hope and crossed our fingers for a turnaround. But even though 2021 has brought its own set of challenges, both globally and personally, we still have so much to give thanks for.
Clearer Priorities
If you ask people what’s most important to them, they’ll likely say family or friends. But all too often, we let the busyness of life get in the way of the valuable things that make life fulfilling. I am thankful for the opportunities this past year has brought to shift my priorities, see from a different perspective, invest in what matters, and experience the joy that comes from living an intentional life. This has led to growing friendships, stronger family relationships, and too many memories to count!
Strong Health
This will always be on my gratitude list, but this year has brought a new level of appreciation for my health. When we are in good health, it’s easy to take it for granted. But our health is what allows us to live a high-quality life and gives us the ability to give our time and energy to others and our many and varied passions. Let’s take this time to appreciate it each and every day!
The Opportunity to Serve Our Clients
This year marks 21 years of having the honor of serving an incredible group of people, our clients! One of the most important parts of my life is joining you on your journey and supporting you as you pursue your goals. It is truly my joy to celebrate with you when you reach a milestone and be a shoulder to lean on when life gets shaky. As I reflect on all we’re grateful for this year, I want to make sure to thank you, our clients, for choosing Blackbridge Financial to guide you in your financial life. I look forward to investing in you and your family in the future!
