Pumpkin patches, the smell of freshly baked goods, fall leaves covering the yard and cooler air are all signs that Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Thanksgiving is a time to remind us of the ways we are fortunate. We gather with our friends and family members to enjoy each other’s company and delight in sharing a meal. As we spend time together and remember our roots, it’s a time to be grateful.
Refine the Mind states it this way, “We need often to reflect fondly upon the women and men who have died for our freedom, the loved ones who have sacrificed for our opportunity, the people we’re lucky to call our friends, and the qualities and quirks that make each of us, well, us.”

What flowers do you choose?
Now all you have to do is pick out an arrangement. Traditional flowers are always a safe bet. For example this fall-themed arrangement with lilies, sunflowers and roses would be an excellent choice. Ask some of your co-workers if they want to purchase the arrangement together to split the cost.
If you have a close relationship with your boss and happen to know his or her favorite color or birthday, think about ordering a more personalized arrangement. If your boss’s birthday is in November you could order an arrangement with the November birth month flower, chrysanthemum. If your boss loves the color pink, ask your local florist to only include beautiful pink blooms. You could even add a box of chocolates to sweeten the surprise!
Thanking your boss on this holiday is a great way to strengthen your relationship. Everyone loves to receive positive affirmation and to hear that they are doing a good job. Include a simple card message with your flowers that says, “Thank you for being a great boss!” If you have specific examples of a time when your boss was kind or fair, include that in your card message as well.
