Since we're on the cusp of Thanksgiving I thought it would be a fine time to visit the idea of giving thanks for lessons you have learned from all your jobs and businesses along the way. Yes, even those lessons that were learned the hard and unpleasant way. While this exercise is valuable at any time, I think it is particularly valuable during the Thanksgiving holiday and the end of year/start of a new year cycle. The fact that the last two years have been turbulent for many professionally and financially it is even more important to find the gifts (even if they lie amidst some rubble).

 Yesterday I parted with the Inner Circle. No, I did not release some of my dearest and closest friends and confidants, however... it does, in deed, feel a bit like that. 

Do you like to take the pictures at the holidays so you won’t be in too many? Yeah, me too. It’s a well known fact - if you are BEHIND the camera, you cannot be in FRONT of it.   If you are the self-appointed photographer during family celebrations, you need to document the event without irritating all your friends and family.
