"Thank you for letting me be myself."

One gift I'm thankful for today:

having a job that lets me be who I am.

I've not yet reached the end of my first ten years as a professional, and already I've spent more than enough time working jobs that involved putting on a face that wasn't natural for me...performing roles that didn't come naturally at all.

There is great value in environments (and also relationships) that allow you to be yourself.
