Thank you! (I am told, this is a complete sentence ) I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! And to thank you for being my friends.
 Thanksgiving is my favorite Holiday. For many years now I've sent out a "Happy Thanksgiving!" email to all my friends and colleagues (possibly you have been a recipient!) I have a lot of friends, more each year, and many colleagues who have become friends. One of the many things for which I am grateful!
Each year Thanksgiving gives us a chance to reflect on our progress; individually and collectively. We get together with all our family and friends, each vast quantities of great food, and make time to reflect on the past and consider the future.
Time always seems to fly (faster every year) and you think back and say "wow was that just a year ago" but then again, so much happens in one year! It's amazing. And continues to get more amazing; when I think about where we were a year ago and what-all has happened since, it's literally hard to believe.
This past year was truly one for the books. AI, wow. The election. War. The Olympics! And on a more personal front, we lost my Mom - the last in her generation, my daughter was married, I did a lot of sailing (!) and cycling (!). And a little coding.
This past year I've been fortunate to be part of several teams at different companies, each trying to make the world a better place. The work is fun and rewarding, and making new friends along the way is the best part. I've also been a part of different social groups and reconnected with some old friends. I have much for which to be thankful, you-all most of all!
Cheers, I hope you have a great weekend, and spend it quietly and peacefully with those you love.
"hey ChatGPT, based on what you know about me, create a picture of my family's Thanksgiving dinner" Nailed it =O
