And Still I Rise

It is not a Caribbean tradition but Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends who are part of my blogging experience.Nahmix and others have a great one.And those of us who live in the Caribbean can take some time to reflect on all the things we have to be thankful for.

For one thing we don't live in a region that is torn apart by war.Give thanks.We have stable governments for the most part.Give thanks.We are surrounded by beautiful scenery,high green mountains,miles and miles of sea.Give thanks.We still have a sense of community where you can walk down the road and it is not impersonal as in the bigger countries.Give thanks.

And for all the personal things in your life,just give thanks.Many times we take so many things for granted.But,if they are not there then we suddenly see the importance.So today thank God for families,for life,for health and for strength,for jobs and for the blessing of good friends.
