In our home, we have a Thanksgiving tradition that was started many years ago when the children were little. Now, the children aren’t children, but we still do the tradition. I always look forward to it. Our only “rule” is that each family member puts some serious thought into this question, What Are You Thankful For? beforehand.
After our Thanksgiving meal, we gather together to hear what each person has to say. It’s a very special time we all anticipate and treasure. You don’t get to “pass” and you don’t get a “bye” and a response of “everything” doesn’t count. This is serious family business!
As I was thinking about what I will be sharing this year, my thoughts turned to my professional life and what I’m thankful for…life-work that I love; clients who make what I do so worthwhile; colleagues who have become good friends; professional organizations that offer tremendous value to their membership (whose leadership works tirelessly to make it possible); and the hundreds of career bloggers who so readily share their wisdom, thoughts and ideas for the benefit of all. These are a few of the many things I am thankful for this Thanksgiving, and always. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
