As we gather with family and friends for Thanksgiving, it’s a chance to pause and reflect on the blessings we often overlook in our daily lives. This holiday reminds us of the strength of our communities, the value of service, and the importance of looking out for one another. Wisconsin’s traditions - from family dinners to volunteer food drives - highlight how generosity and gratitude define who we are. It’s also a moment to thank the teachers, first responders, healthcare workers, and others who keep our communities running even when most of us are at home around the table.

As we look ahead to the rest of the holiday season, remind yourself what you are thankful for in life. I wish you all a safe, restful, and joyful Thanksgiving.
