On this day of Thanksgiving, I am reminded of how blessed I am by so many of my wonderful friends and my unique family whom I absolutely adore! i am anxiously waiting to be home for Christmas and new years with all of my precious Seattle people!!!
Although the majority of Spaniards have not even heard of thanksgiving, Barbara decided to host a last minute dinner in honor of thanksgiving and the her teachers! She even managed to find a turkey (it had to be specially ordered )
so after all, I will get to have a thanksgiving meal, which, originally I didn’t think was a possibility, since I work till 8pm - no time for cooking ... how wonderful!?!
I get to end a lengthy day of teaching with a thanksgiving meal!!!
As I reflect on these last three months, I can see how amazingly everything has fallen into place. I realize that flexibility and acceptance of changes, opportunities and an unknown future, are necessary in order to maintain happiness as well as a positive outcome. It is pretty crazy how it all works out… and in a way I am not sure that I would have been able to plan.
It is a refreshing feeling for me to see how things have a way of naturally working themselves out, I wont disregard the patience it requires, but it is all worth it!
So to all those who have been such great support to an unknown plan – I am very grateful!!!
