Every so often, I just need to stop and say thanks.<\/p>\n
Thanks for my family and parents, providing all kinds of education when they raised me.<\/p>\n
Thanks to my wife, for being patient and loving, even when I’m not my best.<\/p>\n
Thanks to my past and current clients, colleagues and employers, for giving me amazing opportunities, challenging me and trusting me.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the vast number of people who contribute to making the internet a fantastic place (this is a software blog, after all).\u00a0 Whether you create content or build plumbing, the internet is richer for your contribution (even the guy behind lolcats<\/a>, but especially stuff like this<\/a> and this<\/a>).<\/p>\n Every so often, I get wrapped up in some small drama, but nothing knocks me back on my heels and makes me say ‘Damn, I’m lucky’ like making a gratitude list, even one like this which is incomplete.<\/p>\n Say thanks–it feels good!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every so often, I just need to stop and say thanks.
