Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year will be a whole lot different than other years.. in fact.. where i come from, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving.
Through my life, many things have happened, sadness, pain, laughter and silly moments, all for which i'm very thankfull as they brought me to where i am in life right now..

I give thanks to my amazing family, through the years they've always been there, through them i've learnt what it feels like to be loved unconditionally!They say you can't choose your family, but honestly, if i had the choice .. i'd pick mine twice!

In the last 15 months, i have made awesome friends, many who i'll forever keep in my heart, no matter where we  are in this world!Because.. true friendship really is when you realize you can grow seperately without growing apart..

I'm thankfull for what living in the US has taught me, i'm thankfull for growing so much, for being more responsible than ever, for learning to accept myself, my circumstances, my choices in life and the things i cannot change..

Though there won't be any turkey on our table ..(i live with vegetarians) it makes no difference to the message behind it all..i'm blessed, i'm happy, i'm healthy and i have so many things to be thankfull for, today.. and every other day of the year!

Happy Thanksgiving!
