Thanksgiving - what I'm thankful for this year
Although I'm not American and I live in Europe and we don't celebrate Thanksgiving at all, I can relate to this celebration anyway, because it's always nice to stop for a second and think what I'm thankful for...
1. I'm thankful for my family, and especially for my daughter who was born in January this year. And for my wife who gave birth to my baby girl... I have two exceptional females in my home and I love both of them with two totally different kind of love... and it's empowering and motivating... and rewarding.
2. I'm thankful for my job - I get to create a web app that makes a difference and touches lives of thousands of people in the world... and on top of that I get to blog, video blog and help prepare a cool and free magazine... and it all is lots of fun and keeps me going and growing.
3. I'm thankful for my faith - for the fact that Jesus Christ is my savior and I have nothing to fear, because he's present in my life everyday and if anything goes wrong or not as it's supposed to, I know he's by my side. It gives me great deal of confidence and a lot of power to do great things.
My life isn't a fairy tale. Which one is? I'm also having problems, issues, worries... but whenever I'm thinking about the three things that I get to be thankful for, I understand that none of the bad stuff matters, because thanks to these three reasons life is great and there is a reason for every day to be a Thanksgiving day.
And what are you thankful for? How do you spend Thanksgiving?

Happy Turkey Day from the6149: Hopefully you all get a healthy dose of this today...
Thanksgiving is my fave holiday. No gifts, no funny fat man in a red suit, no bullshit. Just good friends, good family and good food.
Here's a little soundtrack for this post:
I'm always thankful; I don't take anything for granted...at least I try not to. I am very thankful for my wife and our exciting life. I am thankful for our health. I am very thankful for our families and our friends. Those are the 24/7/365 things I am thankful for.
Here are a few other things:
- Open G tuning (that one was for you, Keef)
- The Blues (specifically Charley Patton, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, R.L. Burnside, Otis Rush & Junior Wells)
- Neil Young's ever busy muse
- Hunter S. Thompson's wisdom
- The state of New Hampshire: ("Live Free or Die" is not only the coolest sate motto, they are words to live by)
And...of course I am very thankful for everyone that takes time out of the day to read what I post here at the6149.
Now get off the interweb and go get a second helping of turkey and all the fixin's.
Cheers.Judd

Home Sweet Home.
So I'm back in the house I grew up in. The feeling of coming home to Michigan is a different feel than I have had in the past. Being in the bliss of Georgia I honestly forgot that every single leaf would have fallen off every tree here. I was like damn it is bare around here.
No matter what the current situation of the looks of outside, it is great to be back in the comfort of close family members. Family comes number 1 in my life, I think family time should be cherished, it is the people that you will know the best in your life. People that will have your back no matter what the situation brings. A families who stay close can get through anything together. Trust me on that one.
If I had one good piece of advice I could give spread right now that deals with family and my personal experience, it would be to have FAMILY DINNERS as much as possible. Dinner time seems to be a time that people can open up to each other and a lot can be learned about your fellow family members when your taking down some steak. Another benefit of some dinner time shinannigans is that very important life lessons can be learned at the table or whatever your place of eats. Take for example manners, you NEED to know good manners in life! When your out on a date or eating a very important meal at some point, you don't want to look like Fred Flintstone right? You should want to impress and make yourself look good. Small things that people WILL notice. My philosophy is to be nice and courteous to others as much as possible, while practicing good manners. Feels good!
Ok so I guess I have one more tip or more like suggestion, since we are on the subject of being nice and courteous to others. The things that I am telling you, I am not trying to be preachy or MAKE you do different things, I am just sharing experiences I have had and things that I do, that bring a lot of positive energy to my life, which is important. So maybe you have heard the term of GRATITUDE, which is the quality of being grateful and thankful. Since I really got into exploring this term about two or three months ago, I have really felt a change in my attitude. I have been wondering around showing small acts of gratitude as much as I can. My most practiced form of showing gratitude is to do something nice for someone, or lend someone a helping hand. For no reason really, just to make their life easier or their day better. There are so many other forms of gratitude one can practice.
Jason Mraz is how I started to get into practicing gratitude. His current tour is called the "Gratitude Cafe" tour. He is a firm believer in the practice and how if can bring positive energy to yourself, and yes of course, to many people around you too. So give it a whirl, see if you notice any changes. It could be something that you really get into. Who knows.

Our two oldest kids and I are enjoying Happy Hour at SONIC Drive-In. We ordered a strawberry fruit slush, a lemon-berry fruit slush and a Route 44 Dr. Pepper. Can you guess which one I ordered?!
We then spent the rest of the daylit afternoon at the playground. I love it when the kids are out of school.
