Last Day of 2017: Gratitude

Added on by Chris Saad.

Today is the last day of 2017.

This year I have one overriding thought and feeling: Gratitude.

Gratitude for all the people and experiences I've had. Gratitude for all the abundance. Gratitude for any period of time - however brief - that I can live in gratitude.

If someone told me how this year would turn out, I would have a) not believed them and b) not changed a thing (except maybe Trump).

I left it all out on the field. Saw the difference between world class bold leadership and fear based incrementalism up close, worked my ass off to make a shared vision a reality, had the opportunity to travel to places I'd always wanted to go, advised some great companies doing very cool stuff, pushed past my anxiety to do some public speaking, reconnected with family and a sense of balance, and made beautiful new connections in my life - all while (surprisingly) going up and to the right!

So to 2017 - and the people who made it what it was - thank you!
