I will say, this has been the most "unthanksgivinglike" Thanksgiving I've experienced so far. It was just a normal class day. I had ramen for lunch. (Is that sacrilegious?) But the Americans in our department are getting together for a Thanksgiving meal on Saturday... so we won't be deprived!
But there is still so much to be thankful for. Just thinking about our families gathering together today makes us think about how thankful we are for each one of them... and how much we miss them. What a blessing to love people so much that it's painful to be apart from them. We truly are thankful!
And we are so thankful to be where we are. We still have to pinch ourselves sometimes... are we really living in beautiful South Africa, doing something we love and are so excited about?? Indeed we are. We are so thankful that it is possible for us to be here. I really mean that. We feel so blessed.
So, while Thanksgiving doesn't look "normal" for us this year, we are still filled with thankfulness for our loved ones and for the many blessings in our lives.
Enjoy your Turkey!
