Thanksgiving May Be Good For Your Health!


Did you know that giving thanks – thinking of the blessings and happy moments you experience each day – can improve your life? According to the Mayo Clinic, positive thinking can actually make you healthier. The many benefits include:
  • Reducing stress levels
  • Improving resistance to colds
  • Reducing the risk of coronary artery disease
  • Improving breathing in patients with some lung diseases
If it’s hard for you to stay focused on the positive and identify things that you’re grateful for, you may want to try one of these activities:
  • Keep a gratitude journal
Each day, write down the things for which you are grateful – a beautiful sunset, a warm home, the companionship of family or friends. There should be no negative thoughts in a gratitude journal, only positive ones.
  • Practice mindfulness
Mindfulness is paying attention to the here and now by observing your thoughts without being critical or judgmental. Mindfulness has its roots in Buddhism, and has been adopted by many cancer survivors as a means of managing stress and staying positive.
  • Think about the people in your life
It’s easy to be thankful for the people we love and enjoy being around. You may even want to be thankful for people who have made your life more challenging because they may have caused you to accomplish things you might not have otherwise.

This year, make a Thanksgiving Day’s resolution to accentuate the positive!

On this Thanksgiving Day, we’ll be giving thanks for your business and your friendship. Please let us know whenever there is something we can do to help you.
Happy Thanksgiving!


Best Regards,

Womack Weekly Commentary: September 18, 2017

­Womack Weekly Commentary September 18, 2017 The Markets “In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, in practice there is.” Yogi Berra was talking about baseball, but the concept also applies to diversification, according to the GMO White Paper, The S&P 500: Just Say No . From the title, you might think the authors – Matt Kadnar and James Montier – don’t like U.S. stocks. They do: “Being a U.S. equity investor over the past several years has felt glorious. The S&P 500 has trounced the competition provided by other major developed and emerging equity markets. Over the last 7 years, the S&P is up 173 percent (15 percent annualized in nominal terms) versus MSCI EAFE (in USD terms), which is up 71 percent (8 percent annualized), and poor MSCI Emerging, which is up only 30 percent (4 percent annualized). Every dollar invested in the S&P has compounded into $2.72 versus MSCI EAFE’s $1.70 and MSCI Emerging’s $1.30.” The au...

Inventions That Make Life a Little Easier

  necessity is the mother of invention… Businesses have been finding innovative solutions to labor issues forever. For example, dogs were once bred to cook, according to Popular Science’s podcast, The Weirdest Thing I Learned This Week .   When people relied on fire to roast meat, the spit was an invaluable tool. However, turning a spit for hours wasn’t a popular job, so dogs were bred and trained to turn spits. “The first mention of the turnspit dog…was in 1576…The long story short here is that people bred terrier-like dogs to…fit easily into these treadmills that powered various kitchen aids, but primarily the roasting spit.”   By some accounts, the poor working conditions of turnspit dogs in New York hotels contributed to the founding of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).   Today, pandemic labor shortages have sparked innovation. Companies that are having difficulty finding workers are adopting technological solutions. F...

Pulling the Economy Out of the Shed

  Pulling the economy out of the shed. If you’ve ever stored tools or machinery in a shed or garage for an extended period of time, you know they often need some care and repair to function properly. The same appears to be true of the pandemic economy. Economic growth in the United States is on the rebound. The latest report shows real gross domestic product, which is the value of all goods and services produced in our country, was up 6.4 percent annualized during the first quarter of 2021, an improvement from 4.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2020. Also, pandemic restrictions have been lifted. Americans have begun to spend more and save less, and there is high demand for goods and services. The economy appears to be primed for stronger growth, but there are some glitches in the system – namely labor and supply chains. For the second month in a row, the May U.S. employment report showed fewer jobs gains than anticipated, although the unemployment rate dropped from 6.1 pe...
