A special Thanksgiving greeting to all of you. As you start your day.
After enjoying my Thanksgiving dinner with Morgan, a FedEx pilot, at an American expat bar, I'm grateful to not be in Mumbai where American and British hotels were terrorized.
Two weeks in a developing country can truly put in perspective what an American can be thankful for.
Today I'm thankful for:
-a father who taught me about hard work
-a mother who instilled independence
-sisters who share a love for humanity and compassion for people and reflect my own strengths, weaknesses and triumps
-friends who demonstrate unconditional love and continue to help me learn and grow. Mentors, colleagues, neighbors, old and new friends included.)
-my ability to.... (Fill in the blank-which could be everything) and the wisdom to know that anything is possible
-my faith
-health, wealth, home and happiness.
I'm truly blessed and have been granted much luck.
As I told Morgan tonight after he probed with many great questions, I've finally proven to myself I really can do anything - including traveling to a country on the other side of the world all on my own for two weeks. I'm done proving my resilience, independence and strength. I'm grateful for all the gifts I've been granted, for the wonderful people in my life who support me. Thank you all for being there for this journey.
