Gobble, gobble tout le monde.
It's Thanksgiving! Which in Paris which means that I'll still be going to work tomorrow, there will be rush hour on the métro, all of the stores will be open and no one will give a shit because it's not a national holiday here in France.
But I am still American therefor I must give thanks for all of the incredible gifts I have in my life.
Today I'm reminded to be thankful for:
- My amazing new friends as well as my solid gold oldies.
- Meeting Sébastien.
- My family...well most of them at least.
- Living in the most beautiful city in the world.
- For being able to finally recognize that everything in life happens for a reason.
- Taking on the challenges of this year with humor and becoming a stronger person from this experience.
- Cheap wine options in Paris to help cope with aforementioned challenges.
- And for my amazing readers who "listen" to me bitch and moan day in and day out as I sort through the "Lifetime: Television for Women" movie that has become my life.
Happy Thanksgiving et merci beaucoup!
