Thankful

This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for…

1. Family & Friends. As two of my co-workers at our advertising agency lost close family members this past year, I’ve learned to not take my family for granted. I used to carry a lot of anger in my heart coming from a broken family, but today, I’m so grateful to have the loving and close relationships that I do and so thankful for every moment that I have with them. I’m also thankful for the friends I’ve kept throughout the years and those recently acquired.

2. DDA. I’m thankful that we have been able to move into a new, larger facility this year despite the economic downturn. I’m thankful for the exceptional work and support each of us provides every day that contributes to our overall success as a company. And I’m thankful that every day I have the opportunity to express my self creatively through innovative advertising copywriting and build meaningful relationships with our clients through project coordination.

3. A Shift in Political Perspective. After much anticipation, the recent political election has come and gone, and now a leader in a new direction will take position as President. With the hope of a great many resting on his shoulders, I pray that he will improve our foreign relationships and alleviate our domestic concerns to the very best of his (and our government’s) ability. I’m thankful for change.

4. A Renewed Effort to Go Green. Not just hippies, but people everywhere are going green in a variety of ways from using eco-friendly building materials to unplugging electronics at work and home. I’m grateful that people are recognizing the need to protect our environment and taking the initiative to leave it in the best possible condition for our children’s children.
