I have learned much about Mexico and have enjoyed sharing your insights and pictures with my students. <br />Hey, look at the bright side of spending fall in the northwest..."winter" in Mexico won't feel so cold! :)<br />Gratefully,<br />Karen in VAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026591328777526500.post-78521819394623626102011-11-23T12:54:02.824-06:002011-11-23T12:54:02.824-06:00Hi John, Thank you for writing.

Thank you for your wonderful post today...Patricia,<br /><br />Thank you for your wonderful post today. It makes me realize how lucky I am to live in the United States and be able to enjoy the many things that we take for granted where in other countries they can only dream about such a good life. The description of the naked baby covered in soot in India made me really sad but also thankful that I have two beautiful grown children of my own who got to grow up under completely different circumstances. For that I thank God every day. I sometimes wonder if I was born in another country what my life would have been like. Reflecting on your post today has made me extremely grateful and thankful for all of the many, many blessing I have in my life. Like you said Life is NOT fair and my life could have been so much worse.<br /><br />My second comment is about you describing all of the wonderful things there are about living in Ajijic. I don’t believe anyone would take your writing as bragging. In fact that is one of my favorite things about your blog is you describing all of the many and sometimes simple things that make living there so wonderful. I know that I will love Ajijic when I visit for the first time in March partly because of everything that you write. When I first stumbled upon your blog I went back and read almost all of your archives over several days and I was able to get a wonderful sense of what it must be like living there. So, with that I say THANK YOU for writing your blog and sharing your story. In no way would I call that bragging.<br /><br />I hope you and all of your readers have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day tomorrow.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />John Brown<br />Houston, TexasJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746286024059528079noreply@blogger.com
