For USA readers, yesterday was Thanksgiving – I spent the day with family, being thankful for so much. For the international readers, I hope you joined in yesterday, or perhaps will join me in some thankfulness today.
Front and center on my list of things to be thankful for are: health, family, and community. Health makes the whole thing possible; family–immediate and extended–gives me the daily dose of what love really means, as well as the strength to live a full life; and community–my friends, my amazing staff, co-collaborators, and you–make it all so exciting, rich, and inspirational beyond my wildest dreams. All these things are wonderful and worthwhile things to celebrate.
Within the always-humbling, sometimes-overwhelming presence that this community has in my life, I draw an immeasurable amount of inspiration and motivation. It’s continually shocking for those times when I receive your thanks or kind words, because in my head, our roles are reversed – I feel like the one who clearly derives the most benefit from your participation in this constantly growing community. Words here cannot extend a big enough thanks to you.
Let me take a moment to thank a small handful of friends, collaborators, organizations that have for some reason or another recently made an (another?) impression on me. This is not an exhaustive list, but rather a short one that is present for me at the moment. They are all, in some unexpected ways, not to be missed:

Lastly. If you feel inclined to, please share in the comments section below something you’re thankful for. Anything sincere–and this is not just for the USA folks. It might be a USA holiday, but gratitude is worldwide. I’ll select a handful of comments and send you a signed book or something else to show my thanks for your sharing.
Oh, and I always love this reminder: “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” – William Arthur Ward Have a great weekend.
Great information thanks alot ill be back for more
It’s actually a nice and useful piece of information. I am glad that you shared this helpful info with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the concepts you have provided here. Furthermore, I believe there are many factors which keep your auto insurance premium straight down. One is, to bear in mind buying automobiles that are inside good list of car insurance organizations. Cars which have been expensive are more at risk of being robbed. Aside from that insurance policies are also using the value of your car, so the more pricey it is, then higher your premium you have to pay.
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and also wanted to say that I have really loved browsing your website posts. In any case I’ll be opt-in to your feed and I hope you write again soon!
I’m thankfull
for the eyes that I have and that can see how the sun enlights everyday our world
for our body, with which we can feel and explore every part of what surronds us
for the colours and shapes that you can sense every moment of your life
for people, from which you can always learn something new and different
for nature and silence, to be aware that there’s something much greater than us and we are part of it
this thanksgiving was in particular special
because our familie could be rejoined
the only one missing was my father, he was in the hospital for a minor operation
and by accident they found out that he has diabetes
this gives us the chance to cure him before things get out of reach
all together as a familie, even if we live all a part
not all bad things come to harm
