It's almost time for the annual Thanksgiving holiday—a time to pause and reflect on life and the people around us, and to give thanks.
Thanksgiving is an age-old tradition, following in the footsteps of early settlers who shared their harvest with Native Americans through food and merriment. Over the years, the way in which we celebrate has changed a great deal, but it is still thanksgiving. Whether it be the full turkey dinner or simply a family gathered together around the table and sharing words of thanks, all remind us to value the companionship of our loved ones.
Thanksgiving is more than a holiday; it's a mindset. It means being thankful for the small things that make life beautiful: the greeting of a friend, the smile of a stranger, or even the sun through the window in the morning—very ordinary moments begin to fill our hearts with warmth.
As this Thanksgiving comes closer, I am more thankful than ever for family, friends, and all the people whom I ever came in contact with in my life. Love, warmth, and companionship taught me to treasure every step of my journey, to embrace gratitude as a way of living. I remind myself, too, that gratitude is not something limited to Thanksgiving—it's a quality that we should carry throughout each day.
May this Thanksgiving be a time of warmth and hope as we face the future with hearts full of gratitude.
( 一年一度的感恩节即将到来，这是一个提醒我们停下脚步，去感恩生活、珍惜身边人的时刻。
感恩节的传统可以追溯到几百年前，当时的早期移民为了庆祝丰收，与原住民共享食物与喜悦。而今天的感恩节，虽然形式上可能发生了许多变化，但它的精神却始终未变。无论是一顿丰盛的火鸡大餐，还是一家人围坐在一起诉说感恩之情，这些瞬间都让我们更加珍惜彼此的陪伴。
感恩节不仅是一个节日，更是一种心态——感恩那些让生活变得美好的小事。也许是朋友的一句问候，或是路人无意间的善意微笑，又或者是清晨洒在窗台上的一缕阳光。这些平凡的时刻，静静地温暖着我们的心。
在这个即将到来的感恩节，我特别想感谢家人、朋友，以及所有曾经与我相知相遇的每一个人。正是你们的爱、温暖与陪伴，让我在成长的旅程中学会了珍惜与感恩。同时，我也提醒自己：感恩不仅是感恩节的主题，更应该融入我们生活中的每一天。
愿这个感恩节成为充满温暖与希望的日子，让我们一起怀揣感恩之心，迎接更加美好的未来。)
