Written by on November 8th 2019.
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, it’s a great time for us all to sit and reflect on the past year and count our blessings. Like a lot of good things in Spartanburg, they come A-Plenty. Our SYP Board got together and we wanted to share what we are thankful for with all of you.
Angela Heinrich- “Every morning, I wake up thankful for the opportunity to see another day. I am thankful to go to work every day to a job that allows me to utilize my current skills as well as develop new ones. I am also thankful for my very short commute into work! I am blessed to have wonderful friends and family located here in Spartanburg, and also friends and family located elsewhere that are great excuses for fun vacations. I am thankful for all the life experiences that brought me to this point in my life and for all the experiences I have not yet had.”
Cierra Fowler- “I’m thankful for life! The older I get the more thankful I am to still be able to experience life with amazing family, friends, and co-workers. Every morning I’m able to breath in the new day, I’m thankful!”

I am thankful for the kindness of others and opportunities to learn something new. I find it very beneficial to take some time around this part of the year to reflect on opportunities of gratitude, as well as, finding opportunities to share that gratitude with others.”
