Gratitude for Thanksgiving 2018 like the Mayflower Pilgrims 397 Years Ago

All of us have so much to be grateful for, as compared to those Mayflower Pilgrims that left Leiden, The Netherlands on July 22, 1620
Leiden, Holland click link to visit this interesting site about the Province of South Holland in The Netherlands.
Leiden American Pilgrim Museum click about the start of New England from this beautiful preserved home from 1365-1370
Where the Pilgrims settled in New England, we nowadays enjoy delicious cranberries coming from the region...
Wishing you a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Thanks for your visit and comment.

    Hello Mariette, Wishing you and Pieter a Happy Thanksgiving! Not to make light of the hardships they endured, but in a way, you, Pieter and I (and I am sure many of your readers) are like the original Pilgrims, who left their original homes and found a welcome in new lands.

      Dearest Jim,
      You are so very right about finding a welcome in new lands!
      Contrary to the hardships of the original Pilgrims, we had the smoothest transition of life across the Ocean into a new home.
      Hope you had a special Thanksgiving Day away from your birth region.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

    Even in today’s stressful life, it’s good to step back and remember all that we have to be thankful for.

    Dear Mariette
    I hope you and Pieter have a happy thanksgiving day. We in Japan do not have a cerebration for thanksgiving though, many festivals are held to thank to rich harvest.
    I recall that I studied about Mayflower Pilgrims in my English text book and today
    I understood it was a real history!
    Happy weekend!

      Dearest Tomoko,
      Thank you, we did have a wonderful day with sunshine and many blessings.
      Indeed, the world over there are numerous festivals around the gratefulness of harvest.
      Glad that you now learned some more about the real history of the Mayflower Pilgrims and that they had stayed for about 12 years in Leiden, The Netherlands before crossing the wide Ocean.
      Hugs and happy weekend to you!
      Mariette

    Dearest Mariette,
    I hope you and Pieter had a very happy thanksgiving day!
    It is a holiday we do not celebrate in Greece, and still we do have a Black Friday today (a new fashion, mostly for the younger people, since 2-3 years now)!
    Many hugs and best wishes for a nice weekend!!!

      Dearest Marie-Anne,
      YES we did have a wonderful Thanksgiving day!
      Oh my, the Black Friday craze is something else. We avoid it of course.
      We both hate the over-commercialized period that remains between Thanksgiving and Christmas!
      It takes away too much from the essence of the true meaning.
      Enjoying a quiet day at home to catch up on things is far better.
      Sending you hugs,
      Mariette
