Hi Gérard, everyone
I would like to write a few words about Thanksgiving day because today I have received a mail mentionning that it is difficult for American people to explain to a French person what is really the meaning of Thanksgiving and I Wonder why ?

for those who don't remember what it is about here's a link to a previous post

A Few Things You (Probably) Don't Know About Thanksgiving

Every year, family and friends gather together to give thanks for each other, good food, and freedom in America. While the gathering has morphed into a beautiful celebration, the roots of the holiday are lesser known – and for good reason.
If people were taught the truth about how Thanksgiving came to be, they’d be less inclined to carve up a turkey – which is all too symbolic of the pillaging and murder European ancestors inflicted upon Native American tribes

Always do what you are afraid to do.

Isn't it dangerous to follow such a rule ? affraid

It's not forbidden to have a limit Muriel.
On the other hand, if you always do your usual stuff, you probably not evolve much.
Biggest inventions were created with ambitious and "frightening" ideas.

yes Gérard it is important to think "outside the box "but why always trying to make your adrenalin level rise !

Muriel,
There're oodles of frightening stuff Wink

different levels.
No need to fight a dragon everyday to progress, leaving your comfort area is a good point... I'd say a necessity for everyone's health.
