Jim Gentil has been Rotary club president twice, including last year. In honor of Thanksgiving, he told a story about life and giving thanks – everyone should develop the attitude of gratitude and saying thanks! His story told of writing Thanksgiving letters and the responses received. Jim picked up on this same idea and started writing letters of thanks as well. Jim told another story about a woman whose class project was going out and smiling at three people and document their reaction and her experience dealing with two homeless people at McDonald’s and helping them and then touching everyone with her story with a story of unconditional acceptance. Remember to be thankful and tell people how thankful you are. Do not take life for granted. Live life with joy and passion! Jim has two newsletters – Positive People Power (every Tuesday since 1998) and Positive Spiritual Living (every other Thursday since 2004).
