Thanks and giving

Year 3 of Thanksgiving in Europe was exciting in the UK.  Praise the Lord for WholeFoods!  I finally got a taste of home - turkey, stuffing, yams, sprouts, beet root, corn bread, pecan pie!

I invited some coworkers over to help celebrate.  It was definitely the oddest Thanksgiving I have ever had.  The conversation was weird and wonderful - 4 Brits, 1 Aussie and 1 American Thanksgiving.  I didn't make them do the traditional "what are you thankful for", which was a bit of a miss, but still fun had by all.  Sadly all the pictures are on someone else's phone....lost cause!

Things I was thankful for this year, but didn't share that night:

1.  Health, both for me and my family
2.  New opportunities, new start living in London
3.  A great job that I love
4.  Coworkers who are/were supportive/patient during my move and transition
5.  New running habit
6.  Theatres just a tube ride away
7.  Netflix
8.  A good commute to airport and office
9.  My apartment (and the guy who fixes everything in it)
10.  Tube maps
