For those of us blessed to have made it unscathed by hurricanes, health issues and typhoons we can feel truly blessed since there are so many people who are still dealing with the serious aftermath of devastation and other upheavels. This is a moment for introspection and deep gratitude for what we have and where we are. It is a time prompting us to be generous and understanding.

I feel truly blessed and privileged to be an American whose tradition of Thanksgiving has permeated to many countries around the world. I am blessed with the freedoms and privileges, something I will never take for granted .

I sincerely wish you an amazing Thanksgiving and bonding experience for those of us who can be with people we love and choose to be around.
