The CK Daily – Gratitude is in the Air
Happy Monday!
As Chris mentioned Friday, we had our CK Thanksgiving gathering, and it was fantastic. One of our software developer friends decided to raise turkeys this year and we had the opportunity to enjoy a deep-fried one and it was delicious! In fact, all the food (as we had a potluck alongside the turkey and ham) was amazing!
I’m definitely feeling and thinking about gratitude as we get closer to Thanksgiving. Sometimes it’s really easy to forget to be thankful for even the little things in life. Thanksgiving is a great reminder to us all to be more appreciative and kinder. Even kinder to yourself. I get bogged down a lot with watching the news and the sensationalism and the overall negative outlook on things, wars, economic downturns, and tragedies, and those things definitely weigh me down, but having gratitude balances out the negative. It may not seem like it’ll make much impact, but for me, it’s a great reminder of positive things and helps me keep a positive mental attitude. Speaking of which, I’m truly thankful for you reading this post and thankful for being able to write for you every week.
I hope you have a great day and a fantastic week.
Cris
