Count Your Blessings

On this day of holiday thankfulness it is useful to reflect-upon what an incredible time it is to be alive.    

Ten years ago would it have been considered possible to treat cancer with gene therapies?  That items (including body parts) could be created with a 3D printer?  That the unemployment rate would be 3.5%?  Or that energy costs would be substantially lower than they were only a decade ago? 

Who knew you could summon a ride from a Smartphone.  Speaking of automobiles – back-up cameras are now a standard feature.  Cars have cruise control that automatically responds to traffic conditions and flow.  There are blind spot warnings and many cars can now park themselves.  A new generation of sixteen year-olds may no longer have to learn how to parallel park!   

Retiree savings reflects the strength of US markets and the profitability of entrepreneurship. 

For sure there is much to be improved-upon – yet on balance this is a terrific time to be living.  We have much to be thankful-for so if you  glass is half-full take a moment to count your blessings.  

Happy Thanksgiving!
