Thanksgiving is a time of togetherness and gratitude.-Nigel Hamilton

Acción de Gracias es un momento de unión y gratitud.-Nigel Hamilton

So there is this thing we do on the last Sunday of the month where we wear strictly traditional attires. This could be an Ankara-styled attire, a Lace-styled attire, or a full-on cultural tribal attire.

El último domingo del mes nos ponemos trajes estrictamente tradicionales. Puede ser un atuendo de estilo ankara, un atuendo de encaje o un atuendo cultural tribal complete.

In these photos, you would see my friends and I dressed in different African-styled attires. Also, the emphasis is placed on thanksgiving, hence our happy faces.

En estas fotos, mis amigos y yo vamos vestidos con diferentes atuendos de estilo africano. También se hace hincapié en la acción de gracias, de ahí nuestras caras de felicidad.

We dance, merry, eat and take pictures because we are happy to see the end of yet another month. I reminisced on this as the month of February is coming to an end gradually.

Bailamos, nos alegramos, comemos y nos hacemos fotos porque estamos contentos de ver el final de otro mes. Lo he recordado, ya que el mes de febrero está llegando poco a poco a su fin.

Regardless of whatever plans or goals we had to achieve that are yet to be achieved, let's stay happy and grateful for the gift of life because every day above ground is a blessing and an opportunity to give it another shot.

Independientemente de los planes o las metas que teníamos que alcanzar y que aún no se han logrado, mantengámonos felices y agradecidos por el regalo de la vida porque cada día sobre la tierra es una bendición y una oportunidad para darle otra oportunidad.

What are you thankful for in this month of February?

I love that your thanksgiving is month to month. It's also a wonderful opportunity to wear the traditional clothes - which by the way look terrific!

Indeed.
Today I was feeling a bit down and actually really sad but in all the negative emotions I was feeling, I thought about how blessed I am to wake up every morning and take in another breath. So it inspired my liketu post today.

I just wanted to encourage others and remind them that there's always something to be thankful for in the midst of the storm.

Thank you so much @elmerlin for always supporting me.
It truly means a lot to me 😥😥😥

I'm not sure entirely why, and that isn't important, but I have also been feeling a bit down. It's more to do with the state of the world for me, with the tensions in Ukraine-Russia, I just don't like the statist way things are going recently.

Let's try be positive and show the world that it is a beautiful place full of opportunity for mutual aid.

but I have also been feeling a bit down. It's more to do with the state of the world for me, with the tensions in Ukraine-Russia,

I'm so sorry to hear this.
I have friends from both Ukraine and Russia and I am so torn by the current tension brewing in these areas. I even stay away from social media because all I see is news that creates more panic and worry. Dealing with daily life struggles is really enough, but to add the psychological trauma from the news is just too much.

I continue to hope, pray, and encouraged my friends from there that everything is going to be okay and if not, they are welcome to come over to my house and stay for as long as.

Just like you have rightly said, I will continue to remain intentionally positive and spread positivity.

buena oo
