Mahalo.

Gracias. Merci. Danke. Grazie. благодарить. Thanks.

The sentiment is the same, no matter in which language you choose to express it. There is much to be grateful for, and it’s good to have a yearly reminder to stop, smell the fragrant hibiscus after a sudden rainstorm, and give thanks. 

I’m thankful for family, friends, fellowship, laughter and love.

I’m thankful for gentle breezes, a warm rainshower, the sunshine, and a gradient cloudfilled sky.

I’m thankful for Earth’s natural beauty and the vastness of its terrain yet to be explored.

I’m thankful for tastebuds and the simple pleasure of enjoying a good meal with good company.

I’m thankful for the Creator and Savior of all.

I’m thankful for the coalescence of a multitude of factors that make my soul overflow with joy.

Happy Thanksgiving.
