The once escaped Penguin... America's Thanksgiving Day Parade |
While Thanksgiving and I haven't been getting along the past few years, I do have quite a lot to be thankful for right now.

I am thankful for my job - it is the reason I get out of bed every day.
I am thankful for my team - they keep me sane and are the reason I can actually do my job.
I am thankful for my home - having a roof over my head will never be taken for granted.

I am thankful for my family - I have learned a lot from them.
As the day comes to a close, I can't help but think that even though there is some not-fun stuff going on in my life at the moment, today was one of the best Thanksgiving Days I've had in a long, long time. It started with an incredible trip down memory lane with a very special friend, and ended with a great conversation. The in-between? That, surprisingly, wasn't too bad either.
"Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men;
but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude."
-- E.P. Powell
