My thanksgiving is perpetual

A story of gratitude and serendipity.

“I am grateful for what I am and have.
My thanksgiving is perpetual.”

— Henry David Thoreau

Dear friends,

While Thanksgiving has difficult origins, I’ve always appreciated what it represents today — gratitude, good food, and the chance to gather around a table with those I love most.

After I started traveling, Thanksgiving would sometimes look a little different, depending on where I was in the world. One year, I happened to be in Delhi with my good friend Erin, when a serendipitous encounter led us to spend the day at an Indian wedding.

I wrote an essay about it a few years ago, and it’s still one of my favorite stories I’ve ever written, about one of my favorite Thanksgivings.

I thought I would share it with you this month, as a part of November’s letter to paid subscribers, and I hope you enjoy it!

With love,
Candace
