It is 24 November 2022… and in the United States, we are celebrating Thanksgiving.
I have much to be thankful for.
I have a happy, healthy family. My wife is well. my oldest daughter is living on her own, but not too far away. My youngest daughter is happy, and healthy, with pending nuptials with her fiance, Austin, and our first grandchild on the way. My son is in a much better place than he was a year-and-a-half ago, and is back on track with his college studies – damn pandemic screwed with a lot of folk’s lives. All five dogs here seem to be doing OK as well.
My career is going well. I am doing what I love, and that is the most important thing. I’m a technical trainer. I learn stuff, then I tell people what I have learned. It’s kind of simple when you look at it that way. But, with the ever-changing technical landscape, there is always something new to learn, some tweak of the interface, or some added functionality.
Today we’ll travel to see my mom, my sister, and her family, as well as my two brothers and my nieces and nephews on my side of the family.
For my friends in the US and abroad, I hope the little things are falling the right way in front of you. Sometimes life is kind of like a virtual Tetris game, and the road before is this odd mix of mismatched pieces that just need to fit together to create the next mile in the road.
I know some of you are dealing with difficulties and losses. Some have family that they no longer speak to, some have children that have separated themselves from family. Some of us have an empty chair at the table for one reason or another. My thoughts are with you during this holiday season as well.
As always… I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
