giving&thanks

Autumn swept me up--it came and went before I could catch my breath! My mom came to visit, my roommates and I had an Indians and Pilgrims party, I celebrated a pretty authentic Thanksgiving with family (twenty people!), I made the biggest purchase of the warmest puffy jacket evah, I crunched the crunchy leaves on the ground, I went ice skating at the Frog Pond in the Commons, I listened to good live music and drank pumpkin beer! Most of all I've enjoyed the company of wonderful friends, family and coworkers. Living near my cousin twins is the best because I'm in constant giggle fits--it's just what we do.
It's fun to think about being in Chile last year and where I'll be located next year. There is a lot to learn from everywhere you go and everyone you meet..lucky for me to have such variety as it is the spice of life after all! This year I am thankful as always for my family who continue to make me laugh endlessly and keep me warm. As the holidays quickly approach I want to remind myself to be kind and tolerant, to take good care of myself and others and to continue to learn.
