Each November, we leave out some paper leaves and pens on the bar, and folks leave thankful notes back. Below are this year's take on what people wrote they were thankful for. We censored a couple (but we're happy you're thankful for those things!). Otherwise, they're presented here exactly as we read them on the leaves, in random order of how they were pulled out of the cornucopia basket.
We wanted to take the opportunity to let the person who wrote simply, "Nothing" on one of the leaves that, if you're serious, reading this, and feel down about having nothing for which to be thankful, please give SummitStone Health Partners a call at 970-494-4200 or walk in to FoCo's new Crisis Walk-In Services Center at 1217 Riverside Ave. in FoCo. There are great people there who know how to help you get help.
Here's the list. We love it.
