Welp, Halloween is over and we're already being bombarded with Christmas; which speaks to our seemingly frequent inability to stop and think about our lives, our loved ones, and our fortunes.
So, with Thanksgiving approaching, let's stop for a moment and reflect on what we're thankful for.
The Rules
Any member in good standing is eligible! In order to be entered, all you have to do is share with us what you are thankful for.
On Thanksgiving Day (after I awake from my turkey coma), I'll pull a name out of a hat and post our winner's name.
The Knife
Our winner will receive one of the new GEC BEER SCOUTS!
As I'm sure you know, the Beer Scouts have not shipped yet. I have already paid for one and paid for pre-order on others. However, I understand that this is the real world and stuff happens. In the event of unforeseen circumstances in which I do not obtain a Beer Scout, the winner will receive a seldom-carried, never used to cut Ebony Wood GEC 77 Washington Jack.
What I'm thankful for
I've had one heck of a year so far. I'm coming up on one year of membership here on BF, and I have learned much, appreciated a ton, and connected with people who have enriched my life. Personally, my wife and I purchased our first home, I moved up a little at my company, and most importantly, we welcomed our incredible little girl, Clara, into the world.
I'm incredibly thankful for the friendships that have started here and the vast wealth of knowledge provided by peoples from every corner of the globe. I enjoy the knowledge I glean from these people as much as I enjoy the interactions themselves. I'm thankful for the displays of humanity and decency that are so prevalent on The Porch. I'm thankful for my family, whose support is unending. I am thankful.
Now, it's your turn! Good luck to all entrants!
