What Are You Thankful For?

Thankful to work at a company that picks a day (today) to give each employee $50.00. They insist that we go out for a couple hours and buy something for ourselves, then come back and have sandwiches while we "show and tell" what we've bought. We're asked not to spend it on anyone else nor for anything else—just ourselves. One year I bought some pink Converse shoes (they were so cute). Another year I used it toward a subscription to Lumosity. One of my buddies bought a wonder bra one year—that turned some heads.

I won't be able to attend today's festivities because I've got work up to my eyeballs, but I'm really grateful to work here. I work for and with people who care about each other, society, the environment ... they care.

This is one of the many reasons I don't mind coming in early, staying late or working on weekends. Fortunately, I don't have to hustle like this most of the year.

Lucky me.
