This past week our North American friends have been celebrating Thanksgiving and while I am not a fan of the commercialisation of such celebrations, I think it is a wonderful idea to give thanks for all that we have and to appreciate the sacrifice, work and forethought of those who made it possible for us to live the lives that we do. In my own case, I am incredibly thankful for the life I have, for all I've seen, for the places I've been, for the experiences I've enjoyed and for all those most dear to me - friends and family, past and present. |
