Today is a big holiday in the US; it’s a day when we take time off to celebrate all the things we’re thankful for. We get together with family, over-eat a traditional Thanksgiving Day meal, and then watch football until we pass out. It’s just about a perfect day. I feel especially grateful for the many blessings I enjoy all year long, and I wanted to take a few minutes to share the things I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving Day. I believe counting your blessings is one of the best things a person can do (and that this list of 100 is only a start is a real blessing to me for sure). I’m thankful…. 2. that my wife found the Netflix romantic comedy series, “Nobody Wants This.” It’s so good – we cannot wait for Season Two. 3. for all the time’s Larry Becker brings me some great new Keto food he’s found, like Quest’s Blueberry Bake Shop Muffins. Only 3 Net Carbs per muffin. Larry is the low-carb king! 4. for the “beware of dogs” signs on our fence that keep people from being eaten by our very protective doggos. 5. that my son and daughter-in-law live so close and pop in several times a week just to hang out. We are so lucky. 6. that Seinfeld reruns are on Netflix on demand. I love to have it on in the background while I’m editing photos. 7. that for Black Friday all the software plug-ins I use in my music production are on ridiculous discount sales – some as much as 80% off. I live for these deals! 8. that my daughter still cares that I bake my special “Christmas Cookies” each year when we put up the tree (and I’m grateful she thinks Pillsbury means ‘special’). 9. for Chicky Nando. I love that guy. Everybody does! 10. for the wonderful photographers that come to my workshops around the world. These are about the most fun things I get to do all year, and I’m so grateful for the friends I’ve made on them. 11. to the Hard Rock Casino in Tampa, whose Roulette Wheel paid for my new red Fender Telecaster. I’m not a gambler, but I was that day. LOL!! 12. for Eric Hathaway on our video team. He’s been here a few years now, and he fits the team like a glove, and I’m glad I get to work with him. 13. for the wonderful Christmas music already playing in our house all day. 14. that my wife makes me a completely separate dinner at Thanksgiving every year since she knows I don’t like Turkey, stuffing, or pretty much any of the traditional Thanksgiving foods. 15. that KFC has a pretty incredible spicy Chicken Sandwich, and there’s a fairly new KFC near me (for those non-Keto moments). 16. for all the cool stuff they keep adding to Photoshop. 17. that I get to work at home most days, and when I do go in, I get to work with the most awesome people. 18. for how wonderful my daughter-in-law treats my son. They’ve been married a few years now, but they treat each other like they’re on their honeymoon. 19. that Bryce Young is starting to have some success on The Panthers. He’s a great kid, and a gifted player, on a pretty bad team, but I think the rest of the NFL is waking up to that. 20. to have Terry and Victoria White as my dear friends. You could not ask for better friends. 21. for any time there’s an empty middle seat. 22. that I got to go to Tokyo with my whole family and that we had such a very special time in a very special place. Truly an unforgettable trip. 23. for all the times when my wife knows exactly what to say and how to say it 24. that there’s going to be another season of Ted Lasso. 25. to see my wife’s beautiful face each morning and her smile that still melts my heart. 26. for the free updates this year to Logic Pro X (the software I use for music production). It keeps getting better and better. 27. that our Christmas Tree is already up 28. that we have so many family dinners together. There’s so much laughter and love all around.  29. that the girl of my dreams and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary this year. 30. for Rick Sammon. He. Is. The. Best! 31. for everyone who tunes in to watch “The Grid.” We’re in something like our 11th year, and I still love it. 32. for all the awesome photographers who attended our online conferences this year. 33. that my daughter got my wife’s sense of humor. She cracks me up (and she’s so much fun to be around). 34. for Christina Sauer – the head of our video operations. She is the queen of video production, and a joy to work with. 35. for Sola’s low-carb blueberry bagels. The best I’ve had so far. 36. for all the Phillips Hue smart home gear. They make it all so easy. 37. for the little tool on Amazon that fixes all the lights on your Christmas Tree that are out. It literally works like magic! 38. for our three absolutely wonderful, fun-filled, hilarious doggos. They bring our family so much joy every single day. 39. that my daughter has such great friends, and she’s so committed to them (and they to her). 40. for Coffeemate. I freakin’ love it! 41. getting up and hearing my son’s voice in the kitchen because he once again brought my wife her favorite bagel that morning. 42. for the “Christmas Essentials” playlist on Apple Music. 43. to see how happy it makes my wife Kalebra when one of us, any of us, eats a vegetable of any kind. 44. for all the times my wife texts me a heart emoji 45. for Margie, Angela, and Jessica in our […]
