What are you thankful for?

This is a great time of year. Most workplaces start to slow down, freeing up some valuable time for the employees. Families come together, and at least for the months of November and December, people re-focus on what is important in life. So, as I am sure you have been thinking about it while sitting in the airport, riding in the car, or on the train to wherever you are headed this time of year, what are you thankful for?

Each time I ask myself that question, the list gets longer (which is, of course, a good thing). Here are a few of the highlights. Feel free to send me some of yours.

Absolute, #1 on my list.....is family.

I am thankful... for the health and happiness of my wife and kids.

I am thankful... that I grew up an Anderson, with all the love, learning, and strength that comes with it.

I am thankful...that I married into that crazy Welch clan. There is no better family for love, fun, and support in good times and bad.I am thankful...for Gavin, because everyman needs a junior version of himself to grow up with. I am thankful...for Isabelle, because now My Little Girl makes me mushy.
I am thankful...for Donna, who, without any formal training, turned into the best wife and mother in the world. I am thankful...to all my friends and family who, though may not understand my passion, support it, giving the Lance Armstrong Foundation another record breaking year.

I am thankful...for my bike, and all the wonderful opportunities and people it has introduced me to.

I am thankful...that I have reached a point in my life where I can start to teach those that have taught me.

I am thankful...that the Internet exists to offer this forum, and people like you are willing to read what I have to say.

Have a great Thanksgiving!
