Just another day in the life of Dan… that’s what I tell myself every morning as I get ready for the day.
It’s been a perplexing year with several life changes and challenges – whether family related, work or things in the social and technical communities that I’m involved with.
Today is Thanksgiving though, the day that we stop and breath and remember how blessed we are in this world. I know that for me, living in the Northern Virginia area I don’t see quite the same economic conditions that seem to exist in other parts of the country. I read articles on BBC, CNN, Fox and Drudge and suddenly see the enormity of the pain and hard times that are affecting others and realize how blessed I am.
I would only ask that on this Thanksgiving day in 2009 that you stop and realize the blessings that have been placed on you and reflect on them.
