Today is the American holiday Thanksgiving. I love the whole idea of Thanksgiving and think the idea of stopping to slow down and give thanks for the abundance around us is beautiful.
I also love that Thanksgiving is a flexible holiday. It's not just about our own families. If we are far from our families we can still create a beautiful holiday with the friends we are near. If we are able to be with our families, Americans reach out and invite the foreign exchange student or the out-of-state visitor to join them in celebration.
Today I'm grateful for:
the continued good health and constant love of my family
this amazing fantastic planet we get to explore
living in Prague, something I've looked forward to for years
the incredibly creativity of my fellow humans
that I'm not in charge and I can trust in that.
