#ThankfulThursday

I’ve been a lousy blogger lately, and I apologize for that. I wish I could promise to do better, but life keeps moving, and things have been quite busy. However, I believe this topic is important, so I’ve decided to take a moment to share this post.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to participate in a couple of panels at the Redgate Summit in Atlanta. It was a great experience, mainly because I got to spend time with friends in the SQL community.The Redgate product suites have continued to evolve and grow and continue to impress me.

During dinner that night, I sat next to my good friend Tim Radney. Our conversation turned to Brian Moran, another friend who passed away a few years ago. As we reminisced, we realized how influential Brian and others in the community had been in our professional growth.

It struck us that we don’t express gratitude often enough for our professional communities. So, Tim suggested we do something about it. His idea? Let’s start a blog series, similar to the T-SQL Tuesday series. But I thought, why not keep it even simpler?  Thus, we’re committing to #ThankfulThursday as a hashtag on LinkedIn.

Feel free to join us! Let’s lift each other up and celebrate those who’ve shaped our journeys.
