Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Our staff is excited to get the holiday festivities underway. We’ve asked our very own Jeannie Barreiro to share with us what she is giving thanks for this year. Read on to learn a little more about Jeannie Barreiro!
This year (and every year) I am most thankful for my devoted and caring husband and children. They are the center of my life and mean so very much to me. I am also thankful for my precious dog, Violet, and my own good health! My third grandchild, Leonardo, will be born on November 14, 2019. Our family is growing and it will be even more of a blessed holiday with our new addition!
There are so many exciting things to recount from the last year. I celebrated my 60th birthday with my husband, children, and grandchildren! It was a spectacular day and evening! In addition to being a MiMi for the third time, my youngest daughter, Angela, got engaged in Ireland this summer! We are so excited for her future! I was very fortunate to vacation in Hawaii this year! My husband and I visited all of the Hawaiian islands and were so honored to visit Pearl Harbor. It was truly a trip of a lifetime and one we will not forget! Regarding our office, I have been very fortunate to continue to plan and work with Dr. Hudis in making our practice one that provides excellence in dental care and compassion and care for all of our patients.
I will be handing Thanksgiving over to my eldest married daughter but am looking forward to helping prepare a magnificent feast with her and my other children and grandchildren. Our tradition is to assemble together every Thanksgiving Eve and help prepare the many dishes for the next day.
Acknowledging the blessings in life is such an important part of expressing gratitude. Gratitude for what you have is a recognition of value that does not include monetary worth. It is important to appreciate and enjoy the good in life and I believe you will experience more positive emotions and express more compassion and kindness!
My personal goals for the next year are to be more active in 2020 and join more activities. I want to travel to Portugal and Spain in September and continue to see the world, one step at a time!
For staying on top of the hectic holiday season I recommend taking care of yourself first and not let the hustle of the holidays make you stressed. It's important to remember the reason for the season and enjoy precious time with family and friends!
