This is my favorite turkey photo ever. It reminds me of visiting our home in Florida in the years before we moved there. We always went for Thanksgiving. I was a sun-worshiper and would baste myself for a while, then baste the turkey, and so forth. However, once we moved there, I avoided the sun as much as possible because of the skin cancer risk. That’s how you can tell a native from a tourist – The natives don’t have tans!
This Thanksgiving I am happy to be at home, sleeping in my own bed and not traveling! I’m thankful for my family – they are happy and on the right track. I’m thankful for my work – I find it stimulating and fulfilling after 6 1/2 years as the CEO in Columbia. I’m thankful for my staff who are loyal, creative, dedicated and very smart. I’m thankful for my association – their enlightened leaders and supportive membership. We know that we are all in it together. I’m thankful for my community with all of its quirks and personalities and for having the opportunity to contribute and make a difference. I’m thankful for my professional community – for all of my fellow Association Executives and our staff at NAR – for challenging, sharing and commiserating. I’m thankful for experiencing joy each day, for sharing laughter, for our freedom, for our soldiers. I could go on and on but I’m starting to sound sappy- but I truly am thankful for lots of things.
