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...

Another Tornado Record's in Sight for U.S. as Thunderstorms Boom

Bloomberg by Brian K Sullivan Another wave of tornado-spawning thunderstorms is set to rip across the Great Plains and South this week, putting the U.S. within reach of a record year for life-threatening twisters. Severe storms will drench a swath of the country from Texas to Mississippi over the next five days, according to the U.S. Storm Prediction Center. Through Thursday, 369 tornadoes have been reported across the country, the most in five years and more than double the normal number of sightings. An active jet stream and unusually balmy weather are to blame for the burst of deadly tornado activity, the storm prediction center said. Strong winds have dragged storms into the warm, humid air that’s blanketed the eastern half of the nation, creating conditions ripe for a weather phenomenon that leads to at least $400 million in damage a year in the U.S. “We have a severe threat starting today and continuing for each of the next five days through at lea...
