The CK Daily – Being Thankful
Happy Thursday!
It is amazing that at the stroke of midnight Monday night it switched from Halloween to Christmas everywhere. It started before then at a lot of places but now it is officially everywhere. I totally get it, but what about Thanksgiving? Haha!
So, we are in the month where we are all a bit more mindful of being thankful. Unfortunately for me, this is not something that I constantly do, but I know I should. It is so easy to let that slip our minds and take the things we have or the lives we have for granted. With it being a whole new month and the “month of being thankful,” before I get out of bed each morning, I am forcing myself to name one thing I am thankful for. This is just part of my goal for this month of shifting my perspective and being more intentional with my thoughts and outlook this month. I wrote down 11 things to remind myself of every day and have them sitting on my desk, so I constantly see them:
Be Thankful
Be Happy
Be Kind
Be Faithful
Be Gentle
Be Joyful
Be Peaceful
Be Disciplined
Be Generous
Be Focused
Be Positive
These are the attitudes and mindsets that I want to have each day and begin to intentionally ingrain into my actions, words, and thoughts. Seems like a good month to really start retooling some of my daily activities and habits around these, especially with the busyness of life and work here at the end of the year.
I hope everyone has an awesome rest of the week and weekend! Big football game this weekend for a lot of us in the South, especially in Georgia. So, with that said…Go Vols!

Product Spotlights & Updates
Kendall Howard’s Desktop/Tower Wall Mount CPU Brackets are designed to get the computer off the floor and the desktop. The brackets make it easy to secure and mount any desktop PC to the wall or side of the desk. The included velcro strap secures the PC to the bracket.
Everyone needs a CPU bracket to protect their PC. Computers located on the floor are in continual danger of being jostled and kicked, not to mention the difficulty in accessing the drives, ports, and card readers. Desktop computers and PCs that sit on a desk take up valuable work space, look cluttered and unorganized and run the risk of being damaged by a soda or coffee spill. The Kendall Howard Desktop CPU Wall Mount Bracket protects the PC and creates a more functional, organized workspace.
Learning Center Article – Best Way to Connect Multiple Switches
What is the purpose of connecting multiple switches? In most cases, the goal is to expand network access. When you connect switches, you get more ports that can be used, and that means more devices can utilize the network.
Depending on the configuration, connecting multiple switches can also increase the bandwidth of the network. This is important for any demanding network that is short on total bandwidth.
