- Previous, now current, clients and new clients that want to work with me now that I'm on my own.
- Colleagues that have gone out of their way to offer advice and answer questions.
- Friends and family being supportive of me going out on my own, even my 70 year old, member of a union for 50 years, dad that it took a few months to convince him that yes, people will pay for my services out on my own.
My child has been home from college for the holiday for 30 minutes and has already left an open of chips and a package of cheese out on the counter. I’m so thankful he’s home!
My mental health is the best it's been in a long time; nobody in my family is currently extremely sick or dying (for the first time in 6 years); I've made more money this year than any year since 2005 (when I worked 80-hr weeks); I am not directly involved in any wars; we have a year left of relative normalcy in US government (including support for things like people in need and infrastructure).
Thankful to be working in a firm again. Even a 6 month stretch of unemployment was kinda rough on me, but now I have both the funds to imbibe and a reason to do so (on Fridays*).
I’m thankful for my health, friends )what’s left of them anyways), restaurants, taco trucks, my kids’ teachers, free live music, this nice weather, and my family.
I am thankful I am still able to laugh at myself. And, so so health. And, my students. And, there's electricity, water, food, and bombs that don't go every second...
What are you thankful for?
It's that time of year again. With all the food and travel it can be a bit stressful.
Let's be all hippy dippy and post what we're thankful for this year! Try not to be too sarcastic or pessimistic. ;)
for the people who still care about other people
It's becoming less common these days.
for Maple syrup and bacon.
Seconded for both, together and on waffles!
And good friends and family, keeps life enjoyable :)
Maple syrup and bacon waffles. Hmmmmmm.
Family and friends. Yes, to be clear, that includes the friends here as well.
Then good CANADIAN bacon! Maple syrup,, good food.
Good ARCHITECTURE !!!!
Then of course, a justice system, even as imperfect as it is. It surely could be worse and hope it doesn't get that way.
The health of my family!
A job I love working with nonprofits!
The endless fun and knowledge I've gained from being on Archinect for 20+ years!
This year a lot

My girlfriend's smile.
Our daughter's laugh.
Learning how to love.
Memories of my parents.
Completing my oeuvre.
The ability to enjoy the moment.
The opportunity to have been part of a team that provided a real service and value to the community by building schools.
This country is still a democracy.
Living long enough to treasure these things.
Would love to learn more about the oeuvre!?

how's the school?

I'm thankful that thanksgiving was in October because I'm far too busy to be thankful in November.
But, because you asked, I'm thankful for pumpkin pie, hours-old coffee and Neil Young vinyl records.
I am thankful I am still able to laugh at myself. And, so so health. And, my students. And, there's electricity, water, food, and bombs that don't go every second...
And, thankful for my friends!
Thankful for architecture. Both for the good and the bad...
And, I am thankful for my centenarian mother who still effectively manipulates me and my siblings :))
Very grateful for a host of amazing people who like and/or love me.
For a sense of humor, where I get to laugh a lot and (on occasion) help others do so.
For a sense of perspective-- in which I (sometimes) remember what's important and (better still) what's not.
For getting paid (such as it is) to work with good people doing interesting things.
And still grateful for many of the folks and interactions here on A-nect.
Here here!
I hope all of you have a fun weekend, Thanksgiving or not!
