I am going to take a wild guess and say that most of the immigrants that come to the US also celebrate Thanksgiving. Not that this is the Promised Land, or that problems end when coming to this country, but it presents a chance to start over. For most, it is a golden opportunity. For others, however, the wrong step in a career, or simply a decent hideaway from a difficult life elsewhere.
Whatever their reasons, Thanksgiving is a perfect opportunity to pause and think about received blessings. A steady job, a peaceful neighborhood, better education for the children, healthier friendships, a chance to properly feed the family... Looking from a certain perspective, almost everyone has one or more reasons to be thankful.
On top of that, mostly everyone got two, maybe three days off. I am surely grateful for that!
