ReplyDeleteI know we do not have such thing as a Thanksgiving Day in Spain, but I find it very nice and appropriate to dedicate a special moment in the year to give thanks and express our gratitude for all the things that life offers us every day. I believe gratitude should be a key word in our life. Cicero said: Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
