It’s officially thanksgiving day and though I’m quite sleepy, I have an urge to write. It’s looking like I’ll be in South Holland tomorrow evening with uncle and his family for dinner. Prior to that, I’ll try to take care of some of the many things I’ve been putting off. It’s really nice to have a thursday off.
Oh and last night, I had my first ever dinner in Chinatown. I was hosting Fiona for the night and we decided to take a stroll there. It’s just nice to know that Chinatown is fairly close by.
But, for now, I’ll just keep playing the Fray’s How To Save A Life over and over again. I love it. I got the plugin from youtoube for this blog. Apparently this is not the official video… but it’s equally great.
So now that thanksgiving is here, the year’s virtually over. It’s now time to prepare a new set of resolutions for the coming year. This year, God’s been very good to me. Next year, my hope is to just take things easy and travel a bit. Hopefully see Ghana for the first time in 10 years.
But for this special occassion, for today, I am thankful for the many blessings that have been showered on me. For having a place to sleep, a job to go to, and the opportunity to eat the food I like. I am particularly thankful for my family. We’ve grown stronger and closer over years. And I am especially thankful that I have a nephew who beams with happiness when he sees me.
Don’t cut the turky without me.
Happy Thanksgiving!
