staying thankful
while I didn't get to attend the all-hands meetings, I was recognized two more times, for two much smaller amounts, for my contributions above and beyond to my colleagues outside of my direct teams. it's nice to receive a few hundred dollars right before the holidays! well, we can't always win trips to Hawaii.
I am so thankful that the man I fell in love with nearly 40 years ago still loves me, and wants to spend the rest of our days together!
