I feel like time has passed by so quickly this year, all of a sudden it's already Thanksgiving, and next you thing know, it'll be Christmas time. I remember so vividly, last year this time, I was in Oklahoma with a new friend of mine. I spent Thanksgiving at her house and it was the first time I had ever experienced it! It was a truly soulful Thanksgiving, with mac n' cheese, collard greens, yams, wonderfully roasted turkey, the whole shebang. Funny enough, I spent my second Thanksgiving with her as well. This year, both of us stayed in New York and I was so glad that she invited me to a get together with her sister and friends. I saw what true hospitality was. So many of us were strangers, only meeting for the first time, but somehow instant connections were made. Everyone shared laughter and great food. I'm thankful for the amazing friends I have here in this foreign place, I'm thankful for their generosity and camaraderie. For a few hours, in a tiny little lower east side apartment, there was music, laughter, and a completely good time.
happy thanksgiving.
