Howdy Reader!
​
Our expensive kitchen trashcan just started making sounds like the squeaky door from an old horror movie when the lid finally decides to go down.

We have had a bathroom with bare concrete for YEARS because we yanked up the floor since the dogs destroyed it, and it never got fixed.

I have moles making highways in my yard.

My back hurts.

Half the country is elated, while the other half wonders, “How cold is Canada REALLY?”

At first glance, everything seems to be falling apart.

AND trying to be a creator and run a business through all this noise?
It’s tough.

But I’m thankful.

I’m thankful I have a home. That squeaky trashcan reminds me we’ve always had more than enough. We've had a great place with a big yard to raise our kids. My back reminds me I'm mobile and still alive.

We.
Are.
Blessed.

I heard this great quote from Kevin Kelly while editing a podcast for a client. ”If you only read the news, you’ll think things have never been worse, but if you read history, you realize things have never been better.”​
​
That's encouraging to me. I hope it encourages you.

And here’s some more news for you.

You matter.
Your dreams matter.
Your content matters.

I’m thankful for YOU for reading this email.

There’s an old hymn that says. “Count your blessings, name them one by one. Count your many blesssings see what God hath done.”

I count you as one of my many blessings.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving.*

See ya around the interwebs,
​
