“What are you thankful for?” This was the question hand-written in crayon on some paper on the wall of my friend’s house last evening. A bunch of us were there for a house-warming/thanksgiving dinner and we were asked to ponder this question. I wrote what I always feel thankful for: health, family and friends.
Most others expressed similar feelings. It was a wonderful night with some of the best food I have had here. It was traditional Jamaican food, and not the kind made for the tourists, including corn pudding, which might be the best thing I have ever tasted in my life.
It was a lovely evening and allowed me to continue this whole carb-loading thing I am supposed to be doing for the marathon. Have a wonderful Monday.
