November is a long month in Korea. Americans are spoiled by the Thanksgiving break, which, due to a lack of pilgrims and Native Americans, does not exist in Asia. It would be easy to get discouraged, except that I have children all around me who are constant reminders that the little moments of goodness are what life is all about.
According to one of my writing classes, three out of five 8 year olds agree, the key to being a good friend is being willing to share your pencils and erasers. It's moments of childhood simplicity like this that make me happy, and always thankful.
