# My First Thanksgiving - A Message of Gratitude 🙏
My family is from the countryside of Bolivia, living and working the land at over 3,840 meters above sea level in the Altiplano - one of the harshest environments on Earth. We harvested potatoes, onions, beans, corn, and more. Life wasn't easy, but we understood the value of hard work and being grateful for what the land provided. This is my first Thanksgiving, and when I learned it's celebrated because of a good harvest, something clicked for me. That same spirit of gratitude for the harvest - it's in my blood. It's how I was raised. **Here's what I've learned:** You are exactly where you need to be right now. That's why I'm deeply grateful to be part of evyAI, but even more grateful to be part of this community and the way we're connecting and growing together. The struggles, the wins, the daily grind - it's all part of the harvest we're building. **A few things I'm carrying with me:** You can only see what you already have. That's why change sometimes hurts - we're afraid to let go of what's familiar. But growth requires us to keep pushing, keep playing, keep moving forward even when it's uncomfortable. Someone out there is praying for you. Someone believes in your journey even when you can't see the full picture yet. Hope everyone is having an amazing day. Keep building. Keep connecting. Keep harvesting the life you're working toward. All the best, everyone! 🌾 **Question for the group:** What are you most grateful for in your professional journey this year? Share below! 👇
