November 2024 - A-TEAM OAHU - Panana Newsletter & September 2024 Market Report

Aloha November! November is a special month because it starts the holiday season, and leads to one of most everyone's favorite holidays, Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is a star among holidays primarily because of the wonderful times we have gathering with family and friends, but also because of the delicious and bountiful food we like to enjoy during this holiday. Perhaps the most important part of Thanksgiving, however, is taking the time to reflect upon what we are most grateful for in our lives. Especially in tumultuous times, which don't seem to make a lot of sense, it's important to reflect upon the positive and what is good in our lives, for these things certainly outweigh the bad. Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings. We are grateful for your support and friendship. We wish you a lovely and joy-filled Thanksgiving and wonderful holiday season!! “Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” - Melody Beattie November 2024 NOTABLE DATES NOVEMBER 9: National Go to an Art Museum Day 🎨 NOVEMBER 10: Marine Corps Birthday 🎖️ NOVEMBER 11: Veteran's Day 🪖 NOVEMBER 13: World Kindness Day 😇 NOVEMBER 16: International Day for Tolerance ⚖️ NOVEMBER 17: National Hiking Day 🚶🏻‍♀️ NOVEMBER 19: International Men's Day 🕺 NOVEMBER 23: National Adoption Day NOVEMBER 28: Thanksgiving Day 🦃 NOVEMBER 29: Black Friday 🛍️ NOVEMBER 30: Small Business Saturday 🤝
