Agradecido- Thankful

 There are so many incredible things for which I am grateful. I have always felt truly blessed in this life. Today I had a lot of time to really reflect on all of these wonderful things. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. It is a time for family and friends to gather. The kitchen is one of my most favorite places to be and I always enjoy cooking for others. The fall is the most beautiful season of the year in my opinion. Combine all of this and you find yourself in complete bliss when it comes to Thanksgiving!! Today's post is going to be about some of the things that I am thankful for in life. I have included many pictures but honestly there is no way that I can include it all. Tomorrow I am hoping to post more on my Spanish Thanksgiving and you can also look forward to a post all about teaching and school here in Spain.
