Give Thanks

Thanksgiving is the only time that I, the writer for a technology company, will tell you to throw your technology out the window. Yes, you heard me right. Thanksgiving is not the time for technology. Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends; for traditional (and complicated) recipes – homemade pumpkin pie (sorry Betty Crocker), turkeys that take 10 hours to cook, cranberry sauce not from a can and cracking walnuts while sitting around the kitchen table.

The past few years have been hard. Times have been tough. Wallets have become tighter and any technology that could cut cost or save time has been implemented to its fullest capability. And that’s great. We have become a generation of adapters, innovators, and go getters. The midnight oil burns well past 12am and every small business owner in Tallahassee, and everywhere, is holding their breath and hoping for the best.

But on the 24th, let’s take a breath. Take one day to not worry about tomorrow. Let the emails go unread, the phone calls go unanswered and enjoy the company of those right in front of you.

It’s been tough, but if you’re reading this, you’re still kicking, and thanks to all of you, so is Aegis. Our team wanted to take a moment to tell you that we appreciate the opportunities that you - our friends, vendors and customers have given us -it's because of you all that we have made it to where we are  today.

Have a safe and happy Holiday and don’t forget to give thanks to those that mean the most to you!
