Ebitari's Thanksgiving Holiday 2020 Message
Ebitari's November Pandemic Message
Good day to all our newsletter readers,
This is Delta Data Services last newsletter of the year. We send it our around Thanksgiving time and use it as an opportunity to thank all our present and past clients, vendors and supporters. Thank you for being an important part of our community. We are indebted and grateful.
Well, it looks like 2020 will be known as the year of the COVID-19 pandemic. We've spent most of the year adjusting to this new reality. With many of the adjustments to the pandemic expected to stick as best practices after the pandemic is over, others are calling it the new normal.
While there is much cause for hope with two vaccines developed, these vaccines will not be in distribution to the general population for a few more months. Some states, like California, are shutting down again as there is in a increase in cases in the state due to the Halloween holiday. Close to home in Long Beach, residents are stocking up on supplies again in expectation of a second wave of restrictions.
As we go into the Thanksgiving holiday it is looking a lot different than it has in the past. Some of us are not seeing the family we are used to spending time with. Many of us will be staying close to home and battening down the hatches, maybe watching lots of movies, reading books and listening to music as a family. Whatever this time of year looks like for you, please remember it is an important holiday; perhaps one of the most important of the year. This is because, regardless of religious or spiritual inclination, we can all agree that gratitude is important.
I love what Oprah Winfrey has to say about gratitude that 'what you focus on expands'. She was saying that if we focus on what we are grateful for, then that will expand. I aim to see what there is to be grateful for in my life all the time; just waking up to a new day is a humongous blessing as is every breath.
I like to recall this quote from Konrad von Gesner:
Let there be
for every
pulse
a thanksgiving
and for
every breath
a song
Here's wishing you an enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday no matter what it looks like. At Delta Data Services, we are thinking of and praying for you.
Ebitari Larsen,
President, Delta Data Services
