Each year, we take a moment to stop and consider the things we are thankful for. This Thanksgiving is no different and our Temenos Compliance Advisory Team would like to share some thoughts of gratitude with you.
Greg – Thanksgiving and Christmas bring about a time when I reflect on the past year and what I am most thankful for. First and foremost is God, my amazing wife, wonderful kids, great friends, amazing co-workers, and my health. The things we are grateful for put our lives into perspective and make them more enjoyable. I want to leave you all with a quote about thankfulness from John F. Kennedy and Maya Angelou.
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”― John F. Kennedy.
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou.
Kat – As this year’s holiday season draws closer and I reflect on my many blessings, I’m especially thankful for my good health and that of my family, for being able to give my children a safe place to grow up and to offer them opportunities to try new things and experiences, and for being able to pursue my own passions. I continue to be grateful for my family, friends, and a wonderful team of supportive co-workers. Wishing everyone a multitude of blessings as we bid farewell to this year and welcome the year to come!
Matt – This year as with every year, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the unwavering support and encouragement I receive from the individuals that encompass my daily life. I am truly fortunate to be surrounded by such an experienced group of colleagues within the industry, whose wisdom and guidance have helped me achieve where I am today, and to my loving and supportive family that make it all worth the effort.
Rachelle – I am very thankful for so many things in life! Most importantly, I am thankful for my loving family, my health, and my faith! I’m also thankful for our customers!
Sarah – Well, it’s been a little over a year since Hurricane Ian tore through our little part of the world here. I am so Thankful for the resiliency and kindness of all those who live and visit this beautiful part of the country for all of their help in getting the wonderful souls here back on track.
Of course, near the top of that gratitude list will be all of the customers that allow us to ease their burden in the ever-changing and crazy compliance world! I am looking forward to a peaceful and grateful Thanksgiving and wishing you all the same.
Abhi – I am thankful for the little things like food and shelter.
Elizabeth – I have been listening to a lot of music as of late and there is a verse in one of the songs that goes:
Everybody’s lost and that’s ok;
Some show it, some hide it;
But there’s a battle we’re all fighting;
So if you’re looking for the words to say;
A little bit of love goes a pretty long way.
While a simple message, this year I am very grateful for my friends, family, colleagues, and complete strangers who have chosen to lead with love and kindness this year and it reminds me to do the same for them as I am reminded daily how much we have to be thankful for. While my girls and I will be making a mess of the kitchen, with a dog and cat fighting for leftovers, we are wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Jon – Wishing you a delightful Thanksgiving filled with gratitude and joy. Your trust in us is something I am truly thankful for. Enjoy your special day with your loved ones and may it be as rewarding as a well-cooked meal.
Cindy – As I think back on this year, I first want to say I am so thankful to the Lord for His grace and mercy. Each day is a new adventure in life, a gift from God for which I am grateful. I am very thankful for my family (especially those 5 precious littles I call my grands), friends, and wonderful teammates (whom I consider family), my job, and last but not least, this great country where we are still blessed with so many freedoms! May you have a blessed Thanksgiving this year. It has been a pleasure to walk beside you up and down the hills and valleys of this thing called regulatory compliance. I would like to leave you with a bit of encouragement by sharing these Thanksgiving quotes from Billy Graham.
“No matter what you might be going through right now, God has blessed you far more than you probably imagine—not just with material goods, but with family, with freedom and with the ability to enjoy His gifts.”
“When thanksgiving is filled with true meaning and is not just the formality of a polite ‘thank you,’ it is the recognition of dependence.” – Billy Graham
From our Temenos Compliance Advisory Services family to yours –Thank you for allowing us to serve you and Happy Thanksgiving!
