With Thanksgiving just a day away, many of us are surrounded by friends or family (or hopefully have plans to be around loved ones). This is one of my favorite times of year because I am struck by a greater sense of awareness – a sense of gratitude.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, this is the perfect opportunity to recognize and show our appreciation to a group of co-workers for their altruism over the past month. Since I have been here, PaySimple has always enabled its employees to empower others, focusing on helping those associated with small businesses. Two weeks ago, a group of PaySimplers gathered outside of work on Sunday to cook a meal for families at the Ronald McDonald House – a chance to help empower our community.

For three hours, my gracious co-workers took time out of their day to prepare tacos (yes, both hard and soft shell), serve around 30 family members, and then clean the mess that I am sure they made. By investing just a short amount of their time, they brought greater happiness and contentment to everyone who was involved. This is an exemplification of how focusing on things that “really matter in life” can bring substantial returns.

A big PaySimple “Thank You” to Allison, Elissa, Sherri, Mark, Lonnie, and Matt!

In addition, I can speak for PaySimple in saying that we hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving!
