 As a Raindrop Turkevi, we wish Happy Thanksgiving to all. Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. Therefore, this season of Thanksgiving is a good time to remind ourselves of the many ways we are fortunate in our lives, even in the midst of challenges and difficulties each of us face. Raindrop Turkevi again wishes the best to you all for happy, healthy holidays with friends and families.
