Happy Thanksgiving!

I am writing this blog a few days before Thanksgiving. As I sit here sipping my coffee and taking a break from what has been a hectic week, I realize that I have a lot to be thankful for.

I am thankful to be gainfully employed. There are many good people out there who are struggling to find a job.

I am thankful to work with a great group of partners. There are many who are stuck working with incompetent, unprofessional or otherwise immature co-workers.

I am thankful that it is almost winter in Wisconsin. OK, that’s not true – I am not really thankful about Wisconsin winter and the bitter five-month cold it brings. But I am thankful that we will get to spend some extra time with friends and family over this holiday season.

I am thankful to be publishing two magazines in the aviation maintenance industry – an industry I have been involved in since 1988.

And finally, I am thankful to all three of you who have taken time to read my blog. (At the moment I am thankful my partners have a good sense of humor.)

Happy Thanksgiving from the staff of D.O.M. and HeliMx magazines!
