This has been a difficult year for many families in our community, but today we need to be thankful for many things. If you have your health you have everything. Our office family are grateful for our health and the privilege of serving the wonderful people in our practice. It has been very rewarding to be a small part of so many interesting lives.
We have been witnessing people sliding on their normal re-care appointments and have suffered some unfortunate adverse outcomes. Tooth aches, abscesses, gum infections and other totally preventable events are becoming more common due to this current trend of procrastination. Give the gift of health during the holidays. Get a check-up or a re-care appointment with the dentist and bring a family member with. Start or maintain an exercise program. Watch your diet (After today). Give your whole family a hug. Thank God for all your gifts. Sincerely Happy Thanksgiving.

ADA'S CEBJA
The American Dental Association has a Council that is called "CEBJA" by dentists famililar with the Council structure of the ADA. CEBJA stands for the Council on Ethics, Bylaws and Judicial Affairs. I am attending my third meeting on this Council this coming Friday and Saturday in Chicago. The name reflects the nature of this council very accurately. Last Friday I attended and all day workshop at "The Loft" in Minneapolis, Mn. The presenter was Mary Carrol Moore who had survived two bouts with cancer. With her past experiences her workshop "Healing through Writing" was very inspirational and educational. I am always learning.
