As we bid 2023 adieu,

We want to say – Thank You – to You!

As we sit down to write the last article of 2023, the one overwhelming feeling that comes flooding in is gratitude. Is thankfulness. Is appreciation. 

If the world around us – especially now – teaches us anything, it’s that showing appreciation for what and who we have around us is what life is all about. 

It was the influential novelist, Marcel Proust who wrote – 

Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

And self-help author Melody Beattie who said – 

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

And if those quotes don’t make you want to jump up and thank every single person you have ever met, then perhaps you need some perspective. 

Gratefulness is everything that we believe is important at this time of the year. 

So, as we start to clean our workspace, decluttering and organising, as we finish our goal setting and strategic plan making, as we set our “out of office on”, we want to end this year off with a big THANK YOU!

• Thank you to our staff who drive our business, who deliver results time and time again despite pressures and odds, who shine the name AJS brightly into the sky as they valiantly serve our clients – we are so very grateful for each and every one of you!

• Thank you to our colleagues who stand by our sides as we strive to better our business and our brand, who support us, who guide us and who gallantly celebrate our achievements – we are so grateful for each one of you!

• Thank you to our contractors and consultants, who generously put our needs first, who ensure that they always do their best, who always go above and beyond, who live the AJS name – we are so grateful for each and every one of you!

• Thank you to our clients who have entrusted their businesses to us, who listen to us, believe in us, promote our excellent work, help build our brand and who make us proudly AJS – we are grateful for each and every one of you!

• And lastly, thank you to our readers, those of you who read our articles and our blogs, who share our content online, who comment, who enjoy what we write and encourage us to write more – we are grateful for each and every one of you!

Without any of you, AJS would not be the company it is – a market-leading software company that provides fantastic customer service.

We wish you all a healthy, happy festive season – filled with all the joys this time of year offers. 

May 2024 be stupendous, serendipitous, prosperous, and filled with unexpected yet pleasant surprises.

We look forward to seeing more of our clients face-to-face in 2024! 

Stay safe.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

With all our absolute best,
The entire team at AJS
