thanksgiving and an update on my professional life

i know that it's been taking a while to post, an although my days so far at work not exactly chock full of things to do, mostly completing beginner's training, as to build enough knowledge so that when i start out in action, that i have at least an immediate working knowledge of where things are. the rest will only be tested when i'm in action, but the company is very cool, high speed, and always interesting. i figure i'll be "scrubbing", checking data from different inventory monitors, to make sure our supply chain has close to no kinks.

thanksgiving always gets me thinking, although i must admit thinking about the food which i deeply enjoy, about all the positive elements that i have in my life. i wanted to call some people that have had a major influence on my life recently, however on the day of, i was not able to do so, as my cell died. but hopefully i will be able to write emails to many of them before this weekend is over. i feel that this is the true act of thanksgiving, realizing what we are given, all the good things in our life, having jobs, having family and friends near, understanding oneself and your goals, and asking for guidance and help in overcoming our shortcomings to achieve what we hope in life, and to have a positive impact on everyone that you deal with on a daily basis.

shortly before thanksgiving, i wrote out a vast email looking over the past recent events in my life, and i felt that they were overall very positive, although i had been looking back to my frustrations of not having a job, but the email's intent was to keep my eyes on the horizon, to always take account of our dreams and not get sucked into the day-to-day style of living. otherwise, life passes by quickly, but it's not a race, rather it's something to savor, and you need to know what will be most important for your to achieve. setting priorities was one of the things that i learned is important while at my job over the summer, not for simply your career, but also to be able to extend into your personal life.

ok, so i wrote this two days ago, and wanted to fill this out a little more before i finished it. thus the late-ness.
