Thankfulness.

I woke up this morning to just any other day in Chi.na.

Thanksgiving Day. "Gan An Jie" in Chin.ese. ("with peace holiday").

But for me it's a day to take stock. What is important? What are the daily ways I am blessed and can be a blessing to others? I need to name the things I am thankful for. (we all do). And I need to live like I believe that I have things to be thankful for. Workin' on this.

I was contemplating these things, saying some prayers, and focusing myself on counting my blessings when I recieved a timely text...

I open my wallet and find no money

I open my pocket and find no coin

I open my life, find you,

then know how rich I am.

Happy Thanksgiving, Jassica, my friend.

from one of my students from last year at HDU.

Happy Thanksgiving from Chi.na. There is so much to be thankful for.

walk slow. xoxo.
