There is a lot to be thankful for but one thing that comes to my mind right now is how nice it is to always have caring friends and supporters around me. I’m sure you do as well. Judy and Brianna told me that they are actually supporting somebody and this somebody; I think you will know as well…it is President Barack Obama. They shared that they will continue to support him even in his second term.

주위에 늘 나를 지지해주고 도와주는 사람이 있다면 그것보다 더 감사한 것은 없을 것 같은데요.
