Note to self: Post a Thanksgiving blog about…Thanksgiving. Okay here’s what I’m thankful for, in no particular order, and with an effort to be creative in my thinking about thanking.

• Everybody around the globe who’s bought Jack’s Notebook. It’s been gratifying to hear from many of you and get a sense of how it’s helped people.
• I’m thankful for all the reviewers I’ve found through Twitter and this blog, thanks for posting about my book. An author with no marketing budget depends on people like you, I’m thankful for the mostly kind words.
• My wife Caroline, who is simply nothing but good to me. Love is a lot to be thankful for. Love is what supports creativity.
• For my homes, I’m grateful I have the places I do to reside and work, both in the UK and in Michigan, USA. A home is not guaranteed to us is it?  I’m grateful I have a home. Let’s all reach out to the Homeless in our communities, not just around the holidays but year around.
• For my step-son who teaches me new things every day, even if he doesn’t know it. I never would have heard of Keane or Franz Ferdinand, and would not know anything about Rugby if it weren’t for Arthur.
• For my daughter Meghan who is doing so well and keeps in touch with her Dad.
• For the global creativity and innovation community, you are great friends and colleagues, it’s nice to be able to reach out and find you when I need ideas.
• For my consulting customers who will go nameless here, but I learn as much from you as you do from me. Thanks for your confidence in me and your business, it’s much appreciated.
• To those who read my blog — I’ll continue my best effort to provide items of interest, thanks for reading.
