Celebrating Thanksgiving as a global community

Dear friend, @PaulPavlinovich ,

Your comments & responses mean a lot to me…

I once again thank you for your kind regards & the valuable support you always gift me.

You are absolutely right… Connect is a platform to meaningfully spend our time supporting the needy fellow LGs.

Most sincerely…

Hi @Fathy2 ,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and this photo with us!

Since we have an ongoing thread on the topic of thankfulness and I thought your post was related to the subject, I am moving your publication there, so we can keep Connect more organized: Celebrating Thanksgiving as a global community. :slightly_smiling_face:

As such we keep on doing lots of activities all the time. We come across many people, many references, many helpful things and always keep on appreciating their importance and contribution. Here particularly i will like to thanks the google and Google community for providing such a widespread, beautiful, creative and encouraging GLOBAL platform to become a local guide, share experiences and achievements, share your experiences and try to assist the people asking different questions…around the globe… Yes, it is really very bubbling to understand that you are in touch with the people, community around the globe. just because of the GOOGLE.

Thanks google…You have provided me one noble mission in my life. Thank You very much. :+1:

Si bien no celebramos el Día de Acción de Gracias en mi país es ésta una linda oportunidad para hacerlo con ésta increíble comunidad. Gracias por ésta posibilidad @TraciC

Primero doy gracias por seguir en éste mundo, y porque mis afectos han podido atravesar el pasado año y a aquellos que les tocó padecer el Covid hoy ya están bien. Doy gracias por tener a mis dos hijos peludos, Nathan y Trixie, el encierro sin ellos hubiera sido abrumador.

Doy gracias por todas nuestras reuniones virtuales que fueron un gran soporte en tiempos de encierro. Gracias a todos los Local Guides de Argentina y LATAM que tuve la suerte de conocer y con quienes compartimos inolvidables momentos, @Jesi siempre ahí.

Algún día visitaré al #teamtacos.

También doy gracias por haberme involucrado en los State Challenge porque allí conocí mejor a algunos Local Guides con los que cada sábado nos reunimos y nos divertimos, nos hemos llegado a conocer bastante bien y a forjar el comienzo de una amistad. Ojalá algún día podamos conocernos en persona @Denise_Barlock @JaneBurunina @Erna_LaBeau

@jayasimha78 @Kwiksatik

gracias por ayudarme a tener más corage para hablar en inglés.

Saludos.

Silvy.

What am I thankful for? LIFE! Friends! Google community! Good health! …and so much more! I’m most thankful that I have the ability to live the life we live and travel the United States… seeing new places… meeting people… creating new friends everywhere we go!

I almost remember the day I started contributing to Google Maps about 5-1/2 years ago. This community has changed my life and how I look at it. I can’t say thank you enough to this group of people who have become so very special to me. I have the fortune to be able to have weekly gatherings with the most giving of people around the world. THANK YOU for being part of my life and making every moment in this community a treasure that I will always remember. I can’t begin to make a list of the people who have made such a huge impact on me from this group because it’s so much greater than the 10 I’m allowed to list!

Dear @TraciC , I’m thankful for you and so many other people.

Another year has passed by I am thankful for good health, a happy family, and many good friends I met on Google. Happy I can contribute to a good cause through my posts in Connect, and introduce my beautiful Michigan state to the world.

Here are some people I mentioned below and many more that I can’t put on the lists.

@JeroenM , I am thankful for you when I knew nothing you inspired me to learn and not to fear the unknown.

@KashifMisidia , I am thankful for you for pushing me to be a better Local Guide and helping me to be who I am today.

@ErmesT , I am thankful for you for opening my perception about this beautiful world via Accessible Life in Google Earth, your patient is really appreciated.

@TravellerG , I am thankful for you for always being a good supporter you are always there when I need you and others as well.

@FalguniP , I am thankful for you for being a wonderful friend who always steps in when you are needed

@Ddimitra , I am thankful for you for your cheerfulness and being a big supporter

@Denise_Barlock , what a wonderful physical meetup (my first) we had last May I can’t wait till our paths cross again.

I would like to share one more thing: my family’s favorite dish, the name is “Erna’s Noodles’ '. This special noodle is requested on every special occasion, Christmas, New Year, Easter, 4th of July, and Thanksgiving.

Thank you, you are all a big part of my life :gift_heart:

At the outset, I thank you for this thankful post.

After a very, very long time I am back again into this wonderful LGs world. My eye surgery and my husband’s health forced me to stay away from my Community. This I felt I should surely post my comment. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the community as a whole.

My grateful thanks to @TravellerG , @Selvamani_R , @VickyKrish , @JohnPeter , @FalguniP , @RosyKohli , @Tejal from India and @AdrianLunsong , @PaulPavlinovich , @Ewaade_3A from global platform. There are still more close friends but the limit to tag stops me here.

Thanks again for everything I got from this community.

@TraciC when you think you have done everything you could do in life, for the family, for the world of work, that you are retired and that you have to resign yourself to getting old, that now life is downhill! And here is 2021, which radically changes my way of seeing life, a year full of satisfactions, a year that has changed a lot in me and in my way of thinking and being. True, when you think you have all the answers, life changes the questions! Thank you for all this, for giving a new spirit to my life. Thanks to all my friends, the real ones and the virtual ones (but always people with a kind and good soul) found on LGC. Thanks to @mariacristinafossa my life and travel companion, thanks to @ErmesT who opened the vision on Connect to me. Thanks to so many of you with whom I was able to talk on these pages in such a calm and kind way, a great merit of these times which in some ways are very dark in the soul of many people. Thanks to @AdamGT @TravellerG @LuigiZ @helga19 @CAAG1959 @Sophia_Cambodia @TsekoV and many more but there is the limit of 10!!! Thank you all!!!

Dear All,

May the light of love keeps us all together!

I humbly request my fellow LGs to allow me to tag some of the LGs whose contributions were very vital in my LG Connect mission.

Starting with @AjitThite , @sophie_fusion & @BijohnAdams who were instrumental in the success of #TeamIndia, LGs Photo World & IVM + WGS missions - thanks from the bottom of my heart.

My sincere gratitude to our dear @Shrut19 @RosyKohli & @FalguniP for their everloving & continuous supports in Connect & Social Media.

Our @plavarda was an amazing supporter who has spared his valuable time to support my different posts - Thanks - Paolo.

Our dear @Ewaade_3A , @indahnuria & @Erna_LaBeau were 3 other close friends and I remember their extremely valuable supports, again both in Connect & Social Media.

I am sorry that I could not tag all others, who are equally important to me.

Loving regards to you all…

:pray:

It is lovely to read so many beautiful words in the thread, this is a fact of the beauty of this worldwide family called Local Guides :heart_eyes: .

Thank you for our lives, in every single flavor of it; thank you for our friends, wherever they are; thank you for being part of this beautiful family which gives the possibility to have those friends everywhere in the world; thank you to ALL Local Guides which makes this family what it is: a beautiful and rich worldwide family!

Всем привет . Местные эксперты - это благородные люди , вы делаете мир лучше , но вы можете сделать больше . Лично я опубликовал фото и график работы больниц и аптек , возможно это будет моим скромным вкладом в борьбе с эпидемией . Вы можете делать так же у себя . Если это получится мы вместе сделаем ещё много хороших проектов . Спасибо .

Totalmente de acuerdo contigo @CAAG1959 , esta es una comunidad maravillosa que trata aspectos que van más allá de lo que encontramos en otras redes sociales. Fantástica la comparación que has hecho con los radioaficionados, no sabía que hasta medicamentos tenían :open_mouth: . Muchísimas gracias por etiquetarme y hacerme formar parte de esta rueda de agradecimientos :blush:

Doy gracias por pertenecer a Local Guides Connect. Es una comunidad muy positiva, donde hay generosidad y se comparte sin esperar nada a cambio; sólo por el gusto de dar.

Es difícil el reto de hacer un tag a alguien … me voy a inclinar por @Cecilita . Nos conocimos y al momento conectamos; si viviéramos más cerca, quedaba contigo para cenar este sábado :grin: Estas llena de generosidad, entusiasmo, siempre regalando tu tiempo y conocimientos. Doy gracias por haberte conocido.

Un fortísimo abrazo desde el Sur de España,

Alejandra.
