Celebrating Thanksgiving as a global community

What’s life without an amazing Moderated community?

A platform that gives me the grace to communicate with people, even those who do not understand my language! A platform that provides me with all these amazing resources for free!

  7. @Giu_DiB for all of the beautiful conversations we have on here. For inspiring this writeup and for being such an amazing friend. Happy I made your acquaintance

I am grateful to the team of Moderators for entertaining me! I am such a handful, yeah, I know but you all go out of your way to always make me happy and you touch my heart with all of your beautiful gestures. I really do appreciate.

  • Thank you for my longest running feature; Cooking is an Art
  • Thank you for featuring me on almost all the Boards we have on Connect
  • Thank you for replying to me, teaching me and allowing me to continue to be a part of this community

What’s life without amazing people?! People we call friends…

What’s life without amazing people who introduce us to other people who help in framing our Love story and improving our life’s journey?

I am grateful for the amazing connections I have made here. People who have pushed me way out of my comfort zone, people who have evoked in me emotions I never knew I could feel for people I have never met, seen, touched or felt.

PART FIVE

I am starting my list with

  1. Adam :rofl: @AdamGT My most unconventional friend on here and gist partner, Omoluabi . Thank you for counting me among the very few you would relate with because ah! how hard it is to get your attention! Even though this is meant to show gratitude to you, I will thank myself first for being the first person to drag you to a Virtual Meetup :rofl: I like your work ethics, your consistency, most of all your sense of humor! You are amazing, amazing with a 5-star! Thanks for not giving me headache and for being such an amazing person. thank you for keeping a clean sheet with me too. Thanks for finding an amateur like me worthy enough to ‘cover’ your post, I forgive you for those legs :rofl: Kasun is currently studying in Canada you know, so, maybe two of you will fix that. Just joking. I loved it and I was proud. Thank you, Adam
  2. Hmmm, next; I will thank @FalguniP for being such a relatable friend, a shoulder to lean on, for all our beautiful discussions, for helping out with Local Guides Topics, for being such an amazing sport! You are a good friend, it was great to make your acquaintance. Thanks for all the long trips around India, for watching you while you do what you love to do and for the trip you have promised me and the number of cakes you have promised to bake for me when I visit Mumbai, India. Thanks for being such a shining light on here and for making all of us who know you proud
  3. I am grateful for @TusharSuradkar thank you dear for showing me that there is no permanent enemy or permanent friend. Thanks for teaching me this one amazing lesson of life. Most of all, thanks for paying special attention to and listening to me and paying me some of my most amazing compliments on here and some of my worst knocks too :weary: You are amazing, Tushar. Thanks for keeping the flag flying and the lamp burning
  4. I am grateful for @Austinelewex my OATT for introducing me to the Nigerian community and to some awesome Local Guides when I first joined the platform
  5. Erik :hugs: oh my Erik. If ever there was a Human who wore their hearts on their sleeves, it will be you! one can see right through you. You are an amazing person and very kind too. thank you for all the beautiful photography you have ever shared with me, my fondest memory is of you making an apple pie right in front of me and eating it all up to my chagrin. Thank you for being such an amazing buddy @Erik_van_den_Ham
  6. I am grateful for @Radjasitanggang for his brotherly affection and for introducing me to @RahmatHarmanP who has been of great help to me and has taught me so much about the Google products and who, as a Google Products Expert has helped me navigate tough obstacles
  7. @renata1 the first Local Guide who pushed me! Who made me develop a strong interest in learning more than the conventional international languages but learn how to speak, pronounce and write it just to more properly feel your love. Thank you so much for the beautiful connection we have. I really do appreciate.

I am grateful to many other people who consider me to be friend and who have in fact, helped me to make a great connection here on connect, deeply, I appreciate you.

FINAL PART (PART SIX)

I am grateful for my life, for health, for remaining sane in a country like Nigeria! Chai! This country more than testing your will strength and tenacity will test your sanity!

Just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse :hushed: Hmmm! what a place to be!

When I think of all the wonderful people on here, take for example @Sophia_Cambodia who kept asking after me and checking on me while I was away from Connect, I still do something because I remember that; I joined this body as a happy person, no experience must shatter my forte.

Finally, I am grateful for the reward you sent me, the amazing tote :grin: it is so cute! When I finally take it out, I will take a photo and post on here.

@TraciC

I have been on the good side and have absolutely enjoyed my Local Guides’ journey!

What a long list of things and people you have appreciated @Ewaade_3A

Well, I did not know that you have been through many things out there. You have been so active and contributed a lot in Connect especially Meet-up. When you are quiet, I just thought there might be something happens and I just want to reach out and check if you have been well.

പാറ്റ്‌സിനെ സ്നേഹിക്കുന്ന ആളുകൾ നിറഞ്ഞ ഒരു ലോകത്തെയാണ് ഞാൻ സ്വപ്നം കാണുന്നത് ...

ഗൂഗിൾ ലോകത്തെ നിങ്ങളെപ്പോലെയാക്കുന്നു.

ഗൂഗിൾ ഗൈഡ് എന്ന പേരിൽ ഒരു പ്ലാറ്റ്ഫോം ഒരുക്കിയതിൽ എനിക്ക് അതിയായ സന്തോഷമുണ്ട്.

ഓരോ കടയിലും പോയി അതിന്റെ ഫോട്ടോ എടുത്ത് മാപ്പിൽ ചേർക്കുക .. ഒടുവിൽ കടയുടമകൾ അത് കാണിക്കുമ്പോൾ അവരുടെ മുഖത്ത് കാണുമ്പോൾ സന്തോഷമുണ്ട് ... അതിൽ എനിക്ക് വളരെ സന്തോഷമുണ്ട് ...

നിങ്ങളിൽ നിന്ന് ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് ലഭിക്കുന്ന എല്ലാ ചെറിയ ആനുകൂല്യങ്ങളിലും Google വളരെ സന്തുഷ്ടരാണ്
ഗൂഗിൾ...
വളരെ നന്ദി ....

Part FIVE (B)

I am grateful for many friends on here who cheer me on, who bring the posts I write to life with cheerful and relatable experiences! Who help in building my albums.

  1. Steve @SP31 Everytime I think of Steve I smile because he lives in one of the most beautiful cities in the world! A city I have such great and fond memories of. I really do like Steve and think he is classy. He brings fresh insights to every conversation and while you may otherwise look Cr*zy for sharing an experience! Look out for Steve because he sure would have tried it out! Like how Steve came to my rescue on this post; Movies under the stars
  2. I am grateful for @plavarda who not only encourages me but is open to me and who when I ask a question will go the extra mile, to even make a video explanation for me, like he made this beautiful post for me and taught me how not to blow my ‘1000 limit’ photo posts. He is a fine example of how the Italians are; Gentlemanly
  3. I am grateful for @LuigiZ even though I have never heard him laugh or seen him laugh, I feel like I will recognize his laughter if I ever was in a room with him and with many others! Luigi has such a cheerful Spirit and draws warmth not just to your heart but to your very soul. I love the meals he shares; a proof that; the Italians have mastered the art of fine dining and from him, I finally know why we have to spend so much to have or eat anything that has ‘Italian’ remotely written on it . My 'Ojo’. I like how Luigi corrects other people while doing his CM job, he makes them feel ‘human and like equals’ with no air. I really do like Ojo sorry Luigi and I am grateful for him
  4. @AdrianLunsong the King of boys and girls! How is one Human so meticulous?! Adrian will make you push yourself and give more; it’s all or nothing!. Adrian is kind, ingenious, innovative and create ideas within the spur of a moment. If anyone was ever to get an ally, Adrian will be the perfect sport! I like how he takes his time with everything and everytime! It almost seems like doing things to perfection is in his DNA. I like his beautiful smile and laughter I like how he lights up the room with beautiful laughter, I like how you go the extra mile, Adrian; like how you went and showed us the statue of a very important woman in British History during the women’s Meetup, can’t remember her name now but that image is stuck in my memory. I think I once heard you say you have OCD. Is OCD this good and kind and laughs easily like this? Oh okay! I will pass
  5. I am grateful for @MukulR Kai! Mukul dey try, Abeg! He carry this Local Guide matter for head no be small! Mukul has just the perfect response and perfect picture for every post. Mukul is so active on here and if Mukul joins your meetup, you sure will be getting a lot of teasing! Mukul, you can look for trouble ehn but I like you like that. Thank you for all you do. Thanks for having the highest entries on the Banana around the world album! #echoke no one can oppress me with Banana again, I have seen it all :rofl: thanks to Mukul
  6. Oh my dearest friend @Stphn one of the finest people in the whole Of Belgium, you can take that to the bank, yeah. You are so funny!!! I like, how despite your very rigorous and busy schedule you take time out to share. I like and admire your unconventional ways of doing things :clap: I will never forget your addition to the keepsakes album, you are just in your own world. Thank you for cracking my ribs so well and every damn time!
  7. I am grateful for @Pratik_89 my Twinny good to have you on here and to be able to share with you during the meetups too
  8. @Nosaint2_Rafael_Fe for helping me to keep in mind one of my most favorite places! How beautiful it will be to live in a ‘world-acclaimed’ tourist destination?! For keeping the fire burning in me to learn Spanish and for always being so kind and cheering me on
  9. @iorikun301 and @CAAG1959 for the lovely insights you share with me on here but what I really want to say is; thank you for taking time to read many of my posts, even when they are very lenghty, I appreciate you.

Ahhh! Na me get this Thanksgiving post :person_facepalming:

That was the exact reason I stayed away because the people I have to thank and show gratitude to are too many :person_facepalming:

No be my fault o, na TravellerG and GuruPriya carry me come here o, make una no vex

please, you all bear with me :pray: biko! I have so many people to show gratitude to, so many people have been kind to me on here. The more I remember, the more the list grows.
