Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Not just because it's not Christmas... (don't get me started).
I'm very fortunate and have much to be thankful for. But, as I sit here and think about things that stand out in 2007, here's what comes to mind:
- My relationship with my wife and kids. It's never been better.
- Accomplishing and learning so much while I was working at Me.dium.
- Having the opportunity to step back and think deeply about what I want to do professionally.
- Running the AZ marathon in Jan, building a nice base in the spring, running the Boulder Backroads 1/2 Marathon in Sept., and getting off to a good start for training for the Sedona Marathon this coming Feb.
- Reconnecting with some of my oldest and dearest friends this year.
- Spending 2 weeks in Alaska with my son John this summer.
- Kicking a really bad habit with the help of my good friend Mot.
- Getting to see The Rockies play in the World Series. Oh, and the Bears in the Super Bowl. No comment on the outcomes of those games :-)
We started a tradition in my family a few years ago that I want to pass on. Instead of saying Grace before our meals, we each take a moment to say what we are thankful for, and what we hope for. It's kind of like Thanksgiving before each meal! Give it a try, it's fun.
