I knew that January, February, and March would be crazy, including a bunch of stuff at work, traveling, plus several conferences. So I told myself it was okay to do only one 30 day challenge, and it was a pretty easy one. I decided to be thankful for one thing each day. I kept a list, so here are 30 things I’ve been thankful for recently:
1. thankful for my wife, plus the fact that she’s a good cook.
2. thankful for my family. No one’s crazy and we all love each other.
3. thankful that I can afford to take time off with my wife this week for our 11 year anniversary
4. thankful that my wife is funny and we laugh together
5. thankful that an Android phone can be a powerful personal computer, and that Google Docs lets you edit a doc from Android.
6. thankful for This Week in Google (TWiG) because they provide free techie podcasts that I listen to while I work out
7. thankful for my cats, but especially for the furry orange one who likes to perch on me and sleep next to me.
8. today I’m thankful for the other cat, the gray striped-y one who sometimes lounges on my legs and keeps me warm
9. thankful for caffeine, which is helping me to work down my email backlog.
10. thankful for my health. Glad to be over my whooping cough.
11. thankful for an aisle seat on a plane, that the plane that landed on time, and fortuitously running into Googlers in the airport to share a cab with. But also thankful for beautiful snow in Washington D.C. that didn’t derail my travel plans.
12. thankful for thoughtful discussions of how Google works and how to make it better
13. thankful to be heading home from D.C.
14. thankful for smart, effective, hard-working colleagues

19. thankful for the chance to vent with some smart people.
20. thankful for good copy editing
21. thankful for Data Liberation and my lockpick set.
22. thankful for daffodils
23. thankful for an empty locker room. It sounds silly, but it’s more fun to get dressed in an empty locker room than a crowded one.
24. thankful that my best friend back in Kentucky keeps sending me cool stuff he’s writing for me to read
25. thankful for Linux and Chrome: two great things that keep me productive and safe on the internet
26. thankful to WIRED magazine for writing about topics I want to read about

30. thankful to have had a fortunate life so far: I feel like I get to make a difference and be rewarded for it
I was looking back over the list and I realized that some of the things I’m thankful for are high-tech, but most aren’t. Which leads me to my next 30 day challenge…
30 days with no electricity. Okay, the stuff below was an April Fool’s joke. I’m still on the electricity!
