My sister-in-law decided that during the week of Thanksgiving, she would post something that she's thankful for each day on her blog. I may not be as eloquent as she is, but I've decided to do the same because, like everyone, I have a lot of things to be thankful for.
Today, I am thankful for friendship. About a year and a half ago, my wife and I moved away from everything either of us knew so that I could get my master's degree. Her great aunt and uncle and the family of one of their kids live out here, but other than that, it was all foreign.
That didn't last long, however. We soon became friends with other students who, like me, had moved away from the familiar in the quest for more knowledge. We also made friends in Church, and, thanks to technology, we've been able to keep in contact with our friends from before we moved.
Surrounded by all of these friends, the unfamiliar became not just familiar, but pleasant. So thank you, friends, for being so friendly!
