Have you ever celebrated a holiday in a foreign country?
I have.
It’s not the same as when you’re celebrating back home.
That’s why I’m not celebrating Thanksgiving this Thursday.
Thanksgiving Day is a big holiday in the U.S.
Families gather.
They invite friends who don’t have families or are far from home.
They eat. They talk. They watch football on TV.
But I’m in Thailand.
So I’ll do the next best thing: I’ll eat Thai food and…
Give Thanks All Week
When you are thankful for what you have…
When you are greatful for all the good in your life…
Simply, you feel better.
That’s the point behind this holiday; it’s a day to give thanks.
But why only one day?
This week, let’s give thanks for one thing every day.
(Thanks to everyone who shared yesterday! Doesn’t that feel good?)
My turn.
I’m thankful for English.
For a traveller like myself, it’s an amazing tool.
With English and my passport, I can go (almost) anywhere in the world.
Your turn!
Below, write one thing you’re thankful for.
And do you think when you’re happier you’ll also have more energy for English? More motivation? More enthusiasm? And learn faster?
I do.
