Thanksgiving

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. - Albert Camus

Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday of the year. I love that we have a day, a weekend, in fact, devoted to gratitude. Count your blessings and revel in the abundance of your good fortune, even if there are struggles and challenges. At the very least, we need to be thankful we live in Canada where -- and I mean this as a comparison to other countries that are ravaged by war, misogyny and disease -- we are safe, we have clean water to drink and food to nourish us, and we are healthy.
We cannot take the peace and beauty that surrounds us this weekend for granted.
