family thanksgiving

happy thanksgiving to everyone!

having been born and raised in the philippines, i was not familiar with celebrating thanksgiving. but now i'd say it is my favorite holiday. that and new year's eve celebration. in retrospect, i love the idea of  family gathering to celebrate and give thanks for being a family.

the love of family has a lot to do with much of the best in all of us. it gives us our sense of loyalty and belonging and a measure of our stability. that's why the family is important to a human being.

that's why i'm so thankful for my family.

wouldn't it be wonderful to have it celebrated as an international holiday?
