We all need a reminder about the dangers of comparing our lives to those of others. I believe the antidote to the “comparison trap” is simply being grateful all the time. It takes practice and intentionality to control our own thought life, but what amazing benefits there are to just changing our perspective.
Benefits of Being Grateful:
1. Keeps you healthy – positive attitude
2. Improves your relationships
3. Helps you enjoy where you live
4. Improves your outlook
5. Enjoy the things you already have
6. Richer walk with God
7. Blessing those around you
8. Reduce negative self-thoughts
9. 98% chance of having a great day
Gratefully,
Spence

One day back in 2022, Spencer said in a staff meeting, “I want to think of a way to make billing a little nicer for our clients. Nobody likes to open a bill, especially for architectural services.” And thus, Spencerisms were born. That’s an internal name we initially gave these short notes Spencer writes to our clients each month, if they receive a bill. The name stuck, only because we couldn’t think of anything else that fit. We hope you’ll enjoy these bits of encouragement (or simple thoughts) Spencer shares each month.
