Well, I'm Thankful to have a job. I'm thankful that we have the freedom of expression, brought to us by the brave men and women that have fought and died for us for years and are currently deployed to awful places putting their lives at risk to continue to protect our rights and safety.

Stop and think about the young men and women that are at a FOB, never knowing when they will be attacked, forced to kill or be killed, then compare it to where you're sitting today.

Think about the number of people that don't have anything close to what we have or the people that are in hospitals this evening. It could be a lot worse and today seems like a good day to cut everyone a break.

I wish everyone the best of luck in their careers, regardless of where they work or how different their opinions may be from my own.

Constant bickering, attacking, comparing what we have to that of others, takes more effort than trying to find common ground. Finding common ground is also infinitely more peaceful and has a chance of bringing satisfaction and happiness than always going for the negative aspect of life, love and career.

I'm ecstatic that the thread, "RAH: "The start of a new direction..." has finally moved to page two, if just for today.

Peace.
