Thanksgiving 4

It’s November. Here’s what I’m thankful for…

November is a great month.  The NFL is in full swing.  The leaves are changing and the air is getting crisp.  The weather is still warm enough to play golf, and the golf courses are still green.  And one of my favorite holidays, Thanksgiving, is right around the corner.  So it’s in that spirit that I thought I’d list some of the things I’m thankful for…

First, I’m thankful for a good job.  It sounds trite, but work provides more than just an income.  It provides structure, adult interaction, and most importantly, a sense of accomplishment.  Having to overcome obstacles and earn a paycheck feels good, even if work can get rough sometimes.

Second, I’m thankful for our clients.  Without our clients, item # 1 doesn’t exist.  Our clients have allowed us to partner with them to grow their businesses, and I am grateful for that opportunity.  And for their on-time payments…

Third, I’m thankful for our employees.  They say good workers are hard to find, and that’s true.  But we found ’em.  DanMatt Media is a small, family-owned business, but we’re blessed to have some of the best people in the industry working for us.  These guys (and girls) are the engine that drives the machine.

And last, but most importantly…

My family.  My wife has put up with me for the last 16 and a half years, and still finds a way to give me a kiss goodbye every morning before work.  She’s the glue that holds our family together.  My kids drive me nuts sometimes, but they’re the cutest, most wonderful children in the world.  My family is the reason I work so hard, and one day I hope my children will join their old man in the family business, as I did with my dad.

That’s an abbreviated but sincere list.  This Thanksgiving, my hope is that whomever reads this post has a few great things in their life to be thankful for as well.
