Culture is a beautiful thing! Every culture has so many intricacies and this year has been my time with the American culture. First Halloween and now Thanksgiving! Being a vegetarian I cannot be a part of the Turkey ritual but Pumpkin Pie is the BOMB.
Anyhoo, Did you know that Thanksgiving day is a day of giving thanks for the blessing of harvest of the year? FOOD! Isn't food the best thing that has ever happened. Quite a gluttonous thing to say as I bite into my caramel filled Ghirardelli chocolate square.
However, apart form Food, there are so many things to be thankful for and so I think Thanksgiving is probably one of the most beautiful festivals I have ever come across. I try to be thankful every day but then sometimes I'm a serial cribber. So here's my chance :
I am Thankful for this opportunity that I am getting to see a whole new world, a new perspective through the same old eyes. A new set of friends and a new home, socks covering my toes to keep me warm and fairy lights in my room to keep me joyful.Tears that make me value my people back home and smiles from the happiness that the new ones give me. Struggle (READ : STATISTICS) because I'm realizing my strength and strength because that's something I really need. I'm thankful for the seasons I have never seen before; the colors of fall the whites of the flakes. A warm cup of Peppermint Mocha (Thanks Nandita) and a chocolate-chip cookie.
I'm thankful because my people back home are safe, sound and happy and I'm thankful for the technology that makes me see their happy faces. For a beautiful mother, a passionate father and the cutest grandmother in the world. For my dog who wags his tail for me on Facetime! For my best friends that I miss so much and for the telepathy that still prevails! You guys are still my support system and distance couldn't do much to that. For brothers and sisters, friends old and new, for love and for happiness and a few frowns too.
I am thankful for the eyes I can see from that sparkle and cry, eyebrows that I raise when I'm trying to ask why. Limbs that walk through snow and sunshine, people who I can really call mine. Ears that can hear christmas carols and a voice that can sing along, a mind and heart that tells me what is right and wrong. A nose that can smell something chocolatey and nice and a tongue that craves cinnamon and spice.
If you think for a second or two, you'll suddenly realize there's so much to be thankful for!
That you're Happy, Healthy and Loved.
'tis the season to be jollllllaaaaaay,
Love and snowflakes,
Juie
