Today is my birthday.

Maybe it is just that I am so old now, but birthdays mean something different now.

The last couple of birthdays have been more about thankfulness than anything else.

Thankfulness for a wonderful wife.

Thankfulness for three great kids.

Thankfulness for all the opportunities and challenges.

Thankfulness for all of you who let me invade your inbox 5 days a week.

There are so many things to be thankful for and a birthday is a great time to sit down and count your blessings.

So, thank you to each and every one of you.

Merry Christmas.

Jake
