I have a litany of beautiful friends, a warm family, and great feelings of purpose, with which I am thankful. Like me, I’ll bet you too, allow your busy schedules or desire for accomplishment to overshadow the treasures in your lives. Today, I stop and appreciate those treasures. My son, Patrick is the greatest gift, most valuable treasure, and was infinitely created to be in my life. I celebrate, you, Patrick. The blessings of the tribe of women Go*d brought into my life, I celebrate you. For the never ending love and affection of my mother, I celebrate you.

  Amparo’s email on fredslist yesterday got me thinking early.  

Last weekend, my husband and I drove upstate to Cold Spring, New York. It is a place I have heard about and always wanted to visit.  

When we selected a new date to announce the Gotham Green Awards® – delayed by the COVID 19 Pandemic and originally planned a week following Earth Day 2020 – I proposed just ahead of Thanksgiving.

I'm staring at a legend on TV. Aex Trebek. He passed away about two weeks ago but his new episodes that he shot will play till Christmas day.   It's a bit eerie knowing the future of a man as his life is passing by in front of you, day by day.  

We are all subject to self doubt, momentary or otherwise. Unfortunately, it is a common human condition. Some let it bring them down needlessly. While others learn to cope with, work through or around it.

 

Gotham Green® annually recognizes those who make a difference in our communities and the world by celebrating people and organizations, both Gotham members and non-Gotham members, who work in ways big and small; for-profit and not-for-profit, to make our world a little greener. Gotham Green® provides a platform for businesses and professionals who seek to connect and promote sustainable business opportunities, practices and relationships.
