Cooking for Thanksgiving for the First time with my flat mate.
It took me a while to appreciate the importance of giving thanks. I do it everyday, giving thanks to God, but when it came to the fact that I have to cook a big feast, sit down and say what I am thankful off, I felt all that was unnecessary. I guess that was my childish mind thinking because now I feel that, no matter the hour or day you can give thanks to God and also put a special day aside to also give thanks. So in 2008 I found myself spending thanksgiving without my family for the first time while studying abroad in China. To make the best of the occasion I organize with other student to cook together and celebrate thanksgiving with our Chinese friends without any turkey -_-.
So this year, 2011 I found myself again spending thanksgiving without families and friends, but good friends and family can be found anywhere with a good and open heart. This year's thanksgiving was very different, different because I am now mature :), I appreciate life way better than before, I appreciate people and what the bring to your life. I have made great, good friends here while in Kent for my Master. Before coming here, I prayed to God for good flat mates, and He sure did answer my prayers. I love my flats mates so much that I couldn't help myself but to celebrate thanksgiving with them and their close friends on campus(University of Kent, Canterbury). So this year, we all got together, planed and cooked this great meal pictures below. Hope you can share the excitement with me, because there was so much joy in the house, for most of them it was their first time or second time celebrating thanksgiving.
