I love this day. I love seeing my family all together. I love getting a bit fatter on a great dinner. I love seeing kid's faces as they watch the parade. The whole thing.
I also love how it gives us pause to consider what we are thankful for. I marvel at the strength of the Pilgrims to come to an unsettled country. I am thankful for their courage and I am thankful for the kindness that the native Americans on the Cape showed them. I am focused on that today. The kindness of one group to another. One person to another. And that's why I am SO thankful for you! At its core - Jobcase is a platform where people help people. And you do. Everyday.
So, YES I am thankful for this country, our origins and this day. YES I am thankful to our military, first responders and others who put our freedom and safety first. YES I am thankful to God for my blessings - especially healthy, happy kids. But I am sitting here this morning feeling especially thankful for you - Jobcasers. People supporting the vision of a community that helps one another navigate difficult future of work. So on behalf of all of us building this site - thank you Jobcasers. Your kindness to one another motivate us everyday.
As we consider that first thanksgiving of 397 years ago - perhaps we can focus on the greatest aspect being how at its core they celebrated people helping people. And let's bring that spirit forward here, and beyond.
Happy Thanksgiving!
