I truly love this time of year. Getting together with family and friends. Sharing a fantastic meal (my wife is a wiz in the kitchen). Even the hustle and bustle of shopping doesn’t get me down. I don’t think we have Thanksgiving often enough. We should have it every few months so that we realize there is so much to be thankful for—even with the economy, and the wars still going on. Our lives in general are easy. We grumble if our lattés are too cold and lament the typical workday. Our ancestors would laugh at how easy our lives are. In honor of this holiday, the folks here at Loewy wanted to send out a “Happy Thanksgiving” to all of you, our clients, friends, and colleagues. You are all very special to us. You’re why we come to work every day—why we’ve been successful—and you’re the inspiration for all the great work we’ve been able to accomplish.
Here are some of the things we’re personally thankful for:
“I give thanks to Thanksgiving, because it brings us back to what really matters in life. This year has been filled with challenges most of us have never experienced before. It’s forced us to be stronger, smarter, more efficient, and more competitive. For this I’m thankful. I’m always thankful for healthy family and friends. Finally, another big thanks goes out to the social web, which allows us to globally exchange ideas, passions, and ‘thanks.’” -David
“I’m thankful for the clients who understand the value of good design. They let us serve them by leading them down the right paths and they have confidence in our ability to embrace their goals, make them our own, and produce results that are effective and pleasing to look at.” -Donald
“I’m thankful for the connections I’ve made with co-workers and clients whom I can also call friends. They are understanding, they’re there for me in a pinch, and there is no monetary value that can be placed on them. They are truly recession proof!” -Selina
“I’m thankful for the continued lowering of the barriers to entry for self-publishing across all media. All forms of expression, from writing to music to video, are getting easier and easier for people to get started with, which lets them contribute to the collective exchange of ideas. I’m even more thankful for the advanced rating, moderation, and filtering systems that make it easy to find the cream of the digital crop.” -Marc
“I’m thankful to have the ability to be creative every day, and to have that creativity help others.” -Jenna
“I’m thankful for my parents, who have shown me support above and beyond that shown by any other parents I’ve seen. They are the model of good parenting.” -Matt
