[For my
annual Thanksgiving series,
I thought I’d
express my gratitude
for some of the best of our 21st century digital age and what it has
contributed to my work and life. I’d love to hear your thanks, for anything and
everything, as well!]
I’m gonna keep
this one short and sweet (something else for you to be thankful for!):
On this
Thanksgiving, as on each of the last two, I’m away from my boys; they’re with
their Mom and her extended family. I’m happy to think about them spending the
holiday with family, fun, and lots of good food, but I also miss them even more
than I always do during the times when they’re not with me. And on such
occasions, I’m infinitely thankful for a recent part of my 21st
century life: FaceTime. (We
tried Skype for a while, but it was just a lot less consistently effective.) The
ability to see the boys when I’m in Massachusetts and they’re in Connecticut,
to have them see me, to share that connection while having our nightly phone
conversation? There’s nothing in my current life I’m more thankful for on a day
like today.
Last thanks
tomorrow,
Ben
PS. What do you
think? Other AmericanThanks you’d share?
