| The CT crew, the Zimterns and the Kimterns wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving! |
Thanksgiving. A day to gather and celebrate the blessings of the past year. Thanksgiving. A day to be surrounded by those that you love. Thanksgiving. A day to eat a lot of food. Thanksgiving is kind of a funny holiday. In fact, when I told some of the Kim coaches about Thanksgiving, they politely smiled and nodded, but deep down I knew they were all thinking what one coach actually voiced to me - "Why don't you just go to church?"
It's funny how cultural traditions can seem so foreign to others. But the nicest thing about celebrating Thanksgiving in Cape Town was that it did not seem strange. In fact, it felt just like any other Thanksgiving. I was surrounded by people I cared about. I spent almost my entire day making food (well actually, I spent most of my day peeling potatoes and chopping vegetables). And then I spent all night eating. We even had a turkey.
And as I was entering a food coma at the end of the night, sitting next to Trevor who was eating the remnants of a dessert out of a pan, I got a chance to really give thanks for all of the great things and most importantly all of the great people in my life. So from Cape Town, South Africa to everyone who may be reading this, Happy Thanksgiving!
