Thanksgiving 2007

Don’t forget to answer the poll! 

ThanksgivingThe year is almost over, and it’s flown by, as usual.  They say that time seems to speed up as you grow older for a very logical reason.  When you’re 5 years old, a year is 1/5 of your life, so it seems like it goes on forever.  When you’re…  well, older than 5, a year is a much smaller increment in terms of how long you’ve been on the planet.

I have many things to be thankful for this year, not the least of which are the great clients I’ve had the opportunity to work with this year.  To all of you whom I’ve come to know personally, I thank you for your camaraderie, and for your business.

For everyone who reads this blog, I thank you for your interest, and I hope you find this blog helpful.

I’m taking tomorrow off, so see you back here on Monday! 

Remember our military at the holidays!  As you may know, there are many ways  to show support for our military folks who give so much all year around.  Two Internet-based opportunities:

  • Send a postcard to someone in the military.  Visit Let’s Say Thanks.  Xerox Corporation has set up this website where you can select a postcard from among designs created by children all across the country, and personalize it with your own greeting.  The postcards are then printed by Xerox and mailed in care packages sent to military personnel serving overseas by a military support organization, Give2TheTroops.
  • Send an e-mail.  Visit America Supports You

And, please join me in a prayer for peace.

Kathleen – I’m thrilled to see you thinking of our men and women in uniform. My dad was career USAF, my sister was a USAF pilot before getting out to have kids and her husband is still in as a BG. If you want to see a very cool video honoring our fallen troops, visit http://youtube.com/watch?v=hpAt7plTpWI. The song is performed by two of my brothers.

Sam – When I started this blog, I decided it would be an information resource, not a soapbox for my opinions – although I’d probably get more comments if I were a bit more controversial!

Having lived through the Vietnam era, and knowing soldiers who served there, I know what it’s like when Americans blame the individuals in the military for our government’s policies.

So, I’ve always made an exception to the soapbox rule when it comes to supporting our troops. Our country has grown to the point now where we can separate the individuals from the policy, and I feel very strongly that we all need to reinforce that feeling.

I’m sure you’re very proud of the contribution your family has made to the military. And, thanks for the link to the video. Your brothers are also very talented musicians!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Kathleen
