Being Thankful

I attempt to be thankful on a daily basis, to give thanks for food, family and friends. To a large degree I succeed.
I am most thankful for my family, my wife and children, my brother and his family, and (even) my in-laws.
I am thankful for the friends in my life. Though I don't tell them often, I value their presence, influence, love and support.
I am thankful for seeing a friend last week who is on my cancer prayer list. She's been cancer free for two years. How cool is that!
I am thankful for the business mentors who have guided me along my career path, especially: Lynn Bateman, Tom Hewitt and Dendy Young. Each has been a Godsend and a guiding light in their own unique ways.
I am thankful to have some minor influence in my market, government contracting.
I am thankful for my clients, past and present.
I am particularly thankful for those who take the time to come up to me at various events to thank me for my books, articles, LinkedIn posts and speaking engagements. When this occurs, it is at once both humbling and energizing.
I am thankful that you've read this far.
I try to live by simple rules, my rules, and I work hard at staying inside their boundaries.
And I wouldn't trade places with anyone. For which I am thankful.
I hope each of you has a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday season.

Always nice to keep up with my MC peeps, and watch the magic happen.
Thanks, Mark, that was lovely. I saw it after Thanksgiving, but I am still basking in the glow of good friends and family, and the sharing of good times and good food. I do enjoy your posts, keep 'em coming. And where is the "attach photo" button .... hmmmmm.
