With the upcoming holiday, we are mindful of gratitude and thankfulness. We’ve gathered some of our favorite quotes on the topic and thought this lovely song by Josh Groban might also fit the bill. It’s nice to have a holiday devoted to gratitude, but really, it should be a sentiment for all seasons. From all of us at ESI EAP, to all of you who read this — best wishes for a happy Thanksgiving!
