I am also thankful for my friends, with whom life would have less color. And finally, I am thankful for my family. More than anything, my family is my core, my center, my home. I have an amazing husband, amazing siblings, a mother who sacrificed so much for our wellbeing and a never-ending chain of history and tradition.  Life is about appreciating what we have and who shares this journey along our side.  Thank you. -Mark Gorman, CEO --- ![Thankful_Brenda.png](https://blog.matrixformedia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Thankful_Brenda.png?width=678&height=102&name=Thankful_Brenda.png) I am thankful for my family, friends, and the opportunity to work for a tremendously innovative and cool company!  I am most hopeful for World Peace! ![Thankful_Miranda-1.png](https://blog.matrixformedia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Thankful_Miranda-1.png?width=678&height=102&name=Thankful_Miranda-1.png) I am grateful for my family, friends, job, and December 22 (each day starts to get longer)! It’s also the small things that keep me smiling all day that I am grateful for: A favorite song coming on during morning commute or hitting all green lights, a ray of sun breaking through on a cloudy day, someone holding the elevator for me, pleasant conversation or smile from a stranger, a lively child in line at the store or in play outside, etc. The small things are all around if you just look for them.   ![thankful_Ryan-1.png](https://blog.matrixformedia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/thankful_Ryan-1.png?width=678&height=102&name=thankful_Ryan-1.png) Of course, family, friends, health etc. Then there is Indoor plumbing. Seriously…think about it. 😊 ![Thankful_Dan-2.png](https://blog.matrixformedia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Thankful_Dan-2.png?width=678&height=102&name=Thankful_Dan-2.png)Having an incredible team working with me every day.

Small wins, big challenges, creative freedom, flexible schedule, a desk with a standing option (my new goal will be to use it more 😊), and a paycheck.  ![Thankful_Charlie-3.png](https://blog.matrixformedia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Thankful_Charlie-3.png?width=678&height=102&name=Thankful_Charlie-3.png) I’m thankful for a happy and healthy family and a fifth Stanley Cup for the Pittsburgh Penguins. ![Thankful_Jason-2.png](https://blog.matrixformedia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Thankful_Jason-2.png?width=678&height=102&name=Thankful_Jason-2.png)My kids, wife, and family.  Tags: [Blog](https://blog.matrixformedia.com/topic/blog), [E-Newsletters](https://blog.matrixformedia.com/topic/enews) ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Recent Posts ![matrix](https://blog.matrixformedia.com/hubfs/Matrix_May2019%20Theme/images/logo-matrix-neg.png) Toll Free: 877.687.9066 Direct Dial: 412.697.3000 General: info@matrixformedia.com Suite 500 Nova Tower 1, One Allegheny Square, Pittsburgh, PA ###### Follow Us - [**](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_FBRWgruVCe_y9dNUv6yng?view_as=subscriber) - [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/matrix-solutions?trk=tabs_biz_home) - [![](https://blog.matrixformedia.com/hubfs/MatrixSolutions_July2020/Image/x-social-media-black-icon.png)](https://twitter.com/matrxsolutions) - [**](https://www.facebook.com/MatrixSolutions) - [**](https://www.instagram.com/matrxsolutions/) ###### Contact ### Fields marked with an * are required © 1992-2019 Matrix Solutions | [Privacy Policy](https://www.matrixformedia.com/privacy-policy/?hsLang=en-us) | [Cookie Policy](https://www.matrixformedia.com/cookie-policy/?hsLang=en-us) | [Terms & Conditions](https://www.matrixformedia.com/terms-conditions/?hsLang=en-us)
