Stretched Gold
Thanksgiving was sooo last week… and that’s where many Americans left their gratitude. I’ve always thought it so interesting how a day of gratitude is followed by a day of chaotic consumerism. The start of a season that’s supposed to be about giving has been skewed into a salesy spending frenzy.
Wouldn’t it be funny if I gave you a coupon code right now? Nope, I’m not here to beg for your credit card… even though it is purple Wednesday…
I guess I just wanted to remind you, and myself, not to let gratitude get all fuzzy around the edges. Remind yourself what you’re grateful for every day.
I’m grateful for:
You, my virtual friends
My rock, and partner in life, Nick
My BFF, Lauren
My “boss” John Walsh – follow him on Instagram
My dog… duh!
A warm house with an overflowing drawer of fuzzy socks
What/who are you grateful for right now?
Great post!
I spent Black Friday buying nothing, instead, my wife and I drove up to Dana Point and hung out in the hot tub.
I’m grateful for my wife Pat
Wonderful friends
All the amazing storytelling happening on TV right now
Music because life just wants a soundtrack
The Oakland Raiders season this year
And a whole bunch of other things I’m blessed with that I enjoy.
What an awesome way to spend Black Friday – I really think the whole “more stuff” mentality is killing us. I bought nothing too =) Thanks for sharing all you’re grateful for, Chris!
