Guest Contributor for week of August 10 - Nick Hounsell
RBC
RBC Group Advantage helps Canadian employers build and manage group retirement and savings plans — Group RRSPs, TFSAs, DPSPs and defined contribution pension plans — backed by one-on-one financial advice for their employees. I work with businesses across Atlantic Canada to design programs that genuinely improve their people's financial wellbeing.
Why gratitude is important to me
Gratitude, for me, is mostly about being where my feet are. It's easy to get pulled into the spin cycle — the next meeting, the next quarter, the next thing — and miss the road you're actually on. A regular check-in on what I'm grateful for is my version of a reset: it slows things down, keeps perspective honest, and reminds me that the ordinary stuff is what makes a life whole. Not the milestones. The Tuesday nights. My hope this week is that a few of these entries nudge someone else to notice theirs.

Kitchen cooking time
The crew gave me free-reign in the kitchen last night and while I'm not the best cook in the kitchen, I really love preparing a meal.
Today I’m grateful for:
classic music playing in the background as I cooked
my first swim in a lake this year - the water is so warm compared to the ocean
Lyn who helped me with the timing and the clean up team
What are you grateful for today ?
