Happy Thanksgiving

Well, Happy Thanksgiving from sunny Connecticut.

I’ve got a lot to be thankful for this year, and I take none of it for granted. A phenomenal family, great friends, a wonderful job with great co-workers, and, of course, the best cat in the history of pets. I think, aside from these obvious things that I am thankful for, the other big thing I am thankful for this year has been the opportunity to learn more about myself. In my opinion, we learn more about ourselves in times of difficulty than we do in the “salad days” of our lives. While I may not have been happy about some things that have happened to me in the last 12 months, they’ve really given me the chance to gain a little more wisdom about who I really am as a person, and I am very thankful for that opportunity. I’m a stronger person for it, probably more mentally tough than I have ever been.
