Adorable, random people on the streets of NYC answer the question, “What are you thankful for?”
LOVE LOVE LOVE this.
I love that we have a holiday called Thanksgiving. I have lived in other countries where they don’t have Thanksgiving, and I’ve had friends tell me they wish they had this fantastically wonderful holiday. A whole day to reflect on the many gifts we have received. I am thankful for Thanksgiving.
Theoretically, we should take time to pause each day and ponder what we are grateful for. I remember hearing a man once say he was grateful for his eyebrows. He went on to explain~ his friend had lost her hair due to chemotherapy. She had also lost her eyebrows. There was nothing to stop her sweat, and it would run into her eyes. Ever since, he has given thanks for his eyebrows.
This year, I am grateful for many blessings that make my life richer. I am grateful for YOU and for the ways in which you have enriched my life. I am grateful for the opportunity to go back to TAIWAN in January (surprise!). I CANNOT wait. I cannot wait to create new memories with dear friends, make new friends, drink bingshas, learn more Chinese, ride scooters, go hiking in GORGEOUS places, teach cute kids, eat MANGOES (!!!), etc. etc. etc!
I am grateful that the world we live in is so beautifully diverse. I am grateful for different countries and places, accents, languages, foods (did I mention Taiwanese mangoes?), dishes, tastes, colors, skin colors, personalities, voices, melodies, instruments, talents, minds, ideas, perspectives, styles, smiles, laughs, stories, seasons, lessons, opportunities, experiences.
Life is bea-U-ti-ful. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
