I should begin by thanking Dana Cassell and Callie Surber for these navel-gazing prompts. It's good to reflect, and I feel good when I reflect, so maybe after this month of prompts, I would like to prompt them to write an entire YEAR of prompts ... Hmm, what say ye?
I been grateful for many moments this year, but I think I have to say I am most grateful for the time I've been able to spend with the family in Alegria where I helped build a house in April. I told them I'd come back to visit, and they didn't believe me, because that's what everyone says who comes from the North to help build homes. Less than a month later, I kept my word, and they have been so welcoming to me, sharing what a US citizen aka person from the Global North would say is too much ... I am planning to spend Christmas with them this year, and am very excited. I know it will be a wonderful and humbling experience. I am grateful for you, Manuel, Sonia, Orlando, Jenny, and Austin.
**A note about these posts: I should have started December first, so I'll date within the title the date when I should have answered ... until I finally catch up to the current prompt. Just FYI.
