A day of thanks
On this day, in the United States, we give thanks in honor of Squanto and members of American tribes giving assistance to the settlers of Plymouth Colony in 1621. For those who believe in a Judeo-Christian deity, thanks is also given “to the Author of Life who granted our forefathers safe passage to this land, who gives every man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth the gift of freedom, and who watches over our nation every day.” (George W. Bush, http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/11/20071119-9.html)
Today, I give thanks to my family, who has enabled me to become who I am; the support of my parents, my brother, and my extended family has allowed me to become a kind and intelligent person, as they have shielded me from many of life’s worries so that I may pursue my own dreams. Today, I give thanks to my friends, who enables me to be who I should be; the support of my closest friends guides me in my life decisions and encourages me to accomplish my dreams.
In other news, I’m working on a bunch of new projects, hence the lack of updates. Hopefully, you’ll get to see some nifty screen-shots soon.
