Thanksgiving

¡Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias!  Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Even though it´s been five years since I was last in the US for Thanksgiving, I still like to honour the holiday by having a feast and giving thanks for all the people, places and things in my life.   I feel like this is a good place for me to put this so that everyone I mention can read it.

Most importantly I am thankful for my parents and the rest of my family for always supporting me and caring for me, even if I live far away.  Without all of you I would not be who I am today, and I certainly would not be where I am today.  For this I will always be grateful.

Secondly I am thankful for my education and all the opportunities it has brought me throughout my life.  Were I not fortunate enough to be able to go to school without incurring debts I would not have the liberty to work abroad over these last few years.  I am also thankful for everyone who has taught me over there years, whether formally or informally, especially those who taught me Spanish, because that was the biggest obstacle to achieving the life style that I have today.

As always I am thankful for my friends all around the world who are always there for me, even if I don´t know where they all live anymore.  I will always cherish the unique bonds I have with each of my friends.

I am also thankful for my job and the opportunity to come live here in Monteverde, because it is allowing me to work full-time and still explore a new country and a new culture.

También les quiero agradecer a mis compañeras de casa, compañeras en la escuela y mis estudiantes porque sin vosotros no podría vivir tan lejos de mi familia.  Os quiero mucho y os agradezco muchísimo porque me apoyan.
