Celebrating Thanksgiving in Africa is an incredible gift; it’s a holiday that we celebrate nearly daily here as we’re reminded constantly how fortunate we truly are.  Today, in commemoration of the US holiday, the third graders at Shepherds Junior taught us another lesson in gratitude as they shared with us the simple things for which they are thankful.  I thought as you sit down to your turkey, you too might like to be reminded of the simple gifts that the universe has granted even the smallest among us – so click here to see what the kids shared.  (You may have to tilt your head a little to view Sanjay’s avante garde camera work, but who among us couldn’t stand to look at the world from a fresh perspective?)

Life is good.  Happy Thanksgiving.
