I’m thankful.

My daily “thankful for” posts came to an abrupt stop last week as I became consumed with a family-filled weekend and cramming in some work things in a short week. I’m not going to backtrack and fill posts as that’s just not me.

Instead I’m closing off the “thankful for” posts by simply being thankful for life and everything awesome that has come my way this year. Call it cliche if you want; that’s fine with me. I’m much more thankful and grateful this year than I ever have been before, and I’m not about to apologize for that.

Christmas music.

Day 20: I’m thankful for …

Pro-con lists.

Several years ago when faced with a tough career decision, my wife and I made a pro-con list on making a moving from Virginia to Georgia. In our minds we were ready to make the move; when we made the list, we realized the move didn’t make sense.

Always, always, always make a list when having to make a decision like that.
