@moseskagan Have had good experience with Ramp but not great experience. Missing functionality was promised when signing up, and support is in the form of a calendly link or an ai bot.
@jasonmcgowan@kalanifsitake The first time I met Kalani I had my 3 boys with me who were very young. Kalani went straight to them: “who are these guys? What’s your names?” And then he made eye contact and told them individually “I want you guys to play for me when you come to college.” Impression made🙌
“Jesus Christ lives! As our resurrected and atoning Savior, He stands ready to help us grow from the dramatic, unexpected events in our lives. At this Easter season, let us worship and praise Him for the peace, hope, light, and truth He brings to us.” @NelsonRussellM
This is great. At a work event years ago @CoachJim4UM came and spoke about his upbringing and, while he grew up in humble circumstances, Coach Harbaugh’s dad would routinely ask his boys “who’s got it better than us?” And they would respond “no-body.” A great form of gratitude
What I'm thankful for...
In 1998, Kurt Vonnegut gave the commencement speech at Rice University.
One passage that I'll never forget:
Up to this point this speech has been new stuff, written for this place and this occasion. But every graduation address I've delivered has ended, and this one will, too, with old stuff about my Uncle Alex, my father's kid brother.
A Harvard graduate, Alex Vonnegut was locally useful in Indianapolis as an honest insurance agent. He was also well-read and wise. One thing which Uncle Alex found objectionable about human beings was that they seldom took time out to notice when they were happy.
He himself did his best to acknowledge it when times were sweet. We could be drinking lemonade in the shade of an apple tree in the summertime, and he would interrupt the conversation to say, "If this isn't nice, what is?"
So, I hope that you Adams and Eves in front of me will do the same for the rest of your lives. When things are going sweetly and peacefully, please pause a moment, and then say out loud:
"If this isn't nice, what is?"
There are a lot of tiny beauties in life that are easy to miss if you’re moving too fast to appreciate them.
When we lean into gratitude for these moments, feelings, and people, we find new joy and happiness in our lives.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, my hope is that we can all slow down and embrace those tiny beauties, today and all days.
I'll start:
As I look at my growing little family, and see the bond that my wife and son have, I constantly feel it.
If this isn't nice, what is?

What are you feeling especially thankful for today?

Because if this isn't nice, what is?
