Friends of Dave #100: The Attitude of Gratitude
Being grateful for the well deserved break.
Hope everyone has been enjoying the time off, spending time with their families, and have recovered from a nice feast this week.
Not going to say a lot here in this intro other than, THANK YOU, Friends of Dave. I appreciate regularly connecting and re-connecting with each of you when we have the chance. Also, thanks for reading, providing feedback and for making this project I started 100 weeks ago a lot of fun.
Most of all, I want to thank you for being a Friend. I hope it warms your true heart knowing that I think of each and every one of you as a pal and a confidant...
Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Instead of focusing on Black Friday and holiday shopping, I included some great stuff below on the power of gratitude if you have a chance to check it out. And safe travels to you and yours!
XOXO
Dave
