It’s Canadian Thanksgiving today! And although I had my big family dinner yesterday evening, and I’m on the train back to school right now, I don’t want to forget to give thanks, the way I oughta. What a great holiday, don’t you think? It’s a holiday specifically meant for gratitude and happiness. I love that! Even if you’re not a Canuck, I hope you’re blessed, happy and thankful today.
As for me…
I’m thankful that I was able to spend time with my whole family this weekend: grandparents, parents, sisters, pets.
I’m thankful I got to spend time with my doggie.
I’m thankful that my family is safe and healthy and happy.
