Attitude of Gratitude

Posted on: November 14th, 2008 by Geoff Livingston 4 Comments

In lieu of the upcoming holiday, a little gratitude list. It’s important to remember all of the great things that happen to us. Whenit rains, we can bring in a little sunlight. This year I am grateful for:

  • Friendly faces at almost every event I am going to these days
  • A series of speaking engagements that have introduced me to all of these fantastic people
  • My pets, who always put a smile on my face
  • My niece Julia who seems to be growing up so quickly (2 yrs. old)
  • Lots of time with family this year
  • The Ducati (yeah, you knew that was happening)
  • Trips to Barcelona, Amstersdam, Seattle and San Antonio. All places I had never been, and enjoyed tremendously.
  • Radiohead and Rage Against the Machine shows! Outstanding.
  • The Phillies winning the world series.
  • Losing 50 lbs didn’t suck either.How about you? What are you grateful for?

    O Wins: A Sense of Relief

    Posted on: November 10th, 2008 by Geoff Livingston

    There was merriment in Washington as a demoralized government town woke up. Hope arrived in the name of Barack Obama.

    Personally, I saw the stats trending towards a strong victory and went to bed at 10. I was relieved. I can’t say I’m happy.

    Yes, he’s my candidate, but I know how messed up our government really is right now. How messed up the economy really is. We have a long hard road ahead of us. What relieves me is the change in leadership and direction. I could not bear to think of another Republican administration during this time. Regardless of Obama’s performance, the GOP has failed America. It’s time to give someone else a shot.

    So as we trudge — yes, trudge — through the economic times and the rebuilding of our government, let us continue to hope and be patient. A long road lies ahead of us.

    In my last post, I discussed the headline my Dad wrote. Here it is. I am still so proud of him for this, and the one when Elvis died (The King Is Dead).
