TRULY:
When looking back on my 25 years, and thinking on what I am thankful and grateful for, so many things come to mind but one in particular is the opportunity I was given to Study Abroad while interning and working towards my Masters degree. I lived, studied and worked in Shanghai, China for a year....One of the best years of my life. If I were younger, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!
FUN:
Now for something fun I am thankful for...Living in southern California and driving my Audi TT convertible with the top down on sunny days down Pacific Coast Highway. This has to be one of my favorite things to do and always cheers me up, no matter how down I am! I just love driving through beautiful areas near my home to meet friends (or alone) for Starbucks or an outdoor cafe lunch and a quick gym session. Happiness.
Wow! Shanghai looks incredbile - as does sunny California. Cant wait to visit both of these places :)

You're so lucky to have lived in Shanghai! That must have been an amazing experience :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog!
Love this post. Shanghai is an amazing city. Haven't been there but will at some point. My friend's from there and she can't stop talking about the city. :) And I can just see you drive down or up PCH!!! :) Love your car.
ReplyDeleteJealous. Shanghai looks great, but call me shallow cuz I'm most jealous of that car and cruising SoCal! Ah, I love Southern Cali: the weather, the people, the sunshine, the ocean, the outdoor restaurants and the convertibles!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Alexandra!
