I didn’t make it home this year due to parent’s conflicting schedules/lack of days off…and also because I didn’t really want to sit in traffic. So instead I spent this Thanksgiving with Dano and fam. I’m really thankful for family friends that treat me like family. Everything on the table was excellent: the turkey, gravy, stuffing, yams, butternut squash soup, and more…all awesome. Thanks for filling my stomach and my heart with love!
On the note of giving thanks, I created a simple webapp that will hopefully encourage people to be mindful of what they’re thankful for…even after Thanksgiving. The app pulls tweets from Twitter that are tagged with #thankfulfor. To add what you’re thankful for, you can submit it via the interface or if you’re on Twitter just add the #thankfulfor hashtag to your tweet and it’ll show up in the rotating display at the bottom.
I’m thankful…

I had my first tailgating experience the other day at Qualcomm (Chargers vs Colts) for Lars’ bachelor party. It was quite a spectacle seeing so many crazy Chargers fans with their crazy setups–canopies, grills, huge TVs, and even satellite dishes. And to think that each car paid $25 and RVs $150 to hang out in the parking lot…
Cheap beer+beer pong+bag game+BBQing+friends = good times.

With Thanksgiving just around the corner (geez where did November go?), I think it’s an appropriate time to talk about being thankful.
We had a thanksgiving dinner at our homegroup this past Thursday and it was good times: turkey with all the fixings, awesome people, and a chance to share what we’ve been thankful for.
I think it’s a discipline to be consciously thankful on a day-to-day basis–not something that I’m not too good at but I’d like to get better. So, five things I’m thankful for today:
- The weather was beautiful today
- Sleeping in was much needed
- Meeting random people at a friend’s bday/going away party
- Really good dinner and movie with friends last night
- Hanging out at the Branch today
I think if we share publicly what we’re thankful for, it helps creates a culture of recognizing the good things in our lives.
What are you thankful for?
