Be Happy On Thanksgiving

For those of you in the U.S., Happy Thanksgiving! For everyone else, I hope that you are also happy and thankful today.

Here’s a cartoon that I’ve used for several years, and it still makes me chuckle…

Here are some of the many things that I’m thankful for:

• I’m thankful for my wonderful family, including my dog Lucy, but not so much for our new hamster Arthur George
• I’m thankful for Temkin Group clients, they’re great to work with and I really enjoy helping them and learning from them
• I’m thankful for Temkin Group, since it provides me the opportunity to do what I love doing, learning and teaching
• I’m thankful for the growing CXPA community, the dedication of CX professionals to the profession and to each other is amazing
• I’m thankful for all of the readers of this blog, you motivate me to keep writing
• I’m thankful for moderates in politics, we need more of them to bridge the chasm created by extremists
• I’m thankful for the Boston sports teams, except for the 2010/11/12 Red Sox who were monumental disappointments
• I’m thankful for IMAX, because it turns great movies into totally immersive experiences and a temporary escape from reality
• I’m thankful for the capacity to give thanks, and for the ability to appreciate the things that make me happy

The bottom line: I hope you are thankful for many things that make you happy
