Eleven Things I Am Thankful For

by Jeff Hopkins, on 11/22/12 4:30 AM


World Series Game 1
It was a thrill being at Game 1 of the World Series this year with my wife and oldest son (tickets courtesy of my brother, a Dodger fan).

Thanksgiving dinner with family:  I am blessed to have a family that gets together on special occasions like Thanksgiving to share a meal and celebrate life together.  This year we will have five grandparents and their six grandkids in attendance.  

My four children:  what can I say about the best kids in the world?

My beautiful and talented wife:  she is the glue that keeps our crazy ship together and afloat.

Good health:  for the most part, we are a healthy bunch, and thanks to love and medical technology, my father-in-law is still going strong after 20+ years of living with ALS.

My mother in law:  she has selflessly been the primary caregiver for my father in law the last 20+ years.  She is an incredible example of love and devotion.

My mom:  the greatest grandma there is, she relocated to northern California to be near her first grandson, and she was rewarded with three more northern California grandkids and one in southern California.   Her weekly evenings with her grandkids and yearly birthday trip to Toys R Us will be memories that last a lifetime.

Second World Series Championship in three years for the San Francisco Giants:  it was a thrill being at Game 1 of the World Series with my wife and oldest son, tickets courtesy of my brother, a Dodger fan.

Living in a country where success can be a dream, a few failures and some hard work away:  where we have God-given and government-defended rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and where, despite all of the problems and limitations inherent in a collection of 300 million flawed individuals, there are many good people devoted to working together for the common good.

Having the resources to participate in the Applied Materials Silicon Valley Turkey Trot: getting some exercise and helping raise money for some great organizations like the Second Harvest Food Bank.

Working for a company that embodies its Vision, Mission, and Values: collaborating with  those who genuinely care about the success of Swagelok Northern California and its associates, and who are always striving to find a better way to serve the companies we are privileged to call our customers.

Our customers:  your faith in us as your preferred supplier of fluid system components and solutions is something we do not take for granted.
