Nearly 70 years ago, a dad gave his little girl a toy monkey. She named it “Jubilee.” Although friends believed the life-like toy would scare her, the gift impacted her life so much that she devoted herself to the study of primate family structures. Today, the toy still sits on her dresser. That little girl grew up to be the famed primatologist, Jane Goodall. It all started with a token of affection.

During this holiday season, is there anyone to whom you can show kindness in a special way? We can make a difference in other people’s lives. Each day we make an impact on the people around us. We all have a choice. We can live with a positive attitude or a negative attitude. We can make the world around us a better place or a worse place.

At Skeeters, Bennett, Wilson & Pike, we hope that in some small way we have helped our clients over the years and have impacted their lives in a positive manner. We hope that we have made our clients’ worlds a little better. The joy in our lives comes from helping other people.

Have a great holiday season.
