In spite of the fact that not everyone who reads this will celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday at this time, most countries and most cultures have their own version of the holiday at some time in the year. As an expatriate American, living in Venezuela, it's a significant day to me. A day to slow down and to become 'conscious' of the many things we take for granted each day.
People everywhere hurry and scurry through their lives.
As expats, it's easy to feel isolated and alone. We're away from our families and things familiar and comforting to us. So, I challenge each of you to share this day of Thanksgiving with me. No matter where we are, no matter what we have or don't have, no matter the circumstances of our lives, we all have much to be grateful for. And for each year of your age, list that number of things you are grateful for today.
