Thanksgiving

This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving.... which is approximately a month before the American one but we kind of celebrate the same thing, with the same kind of food and same opportunity for family chaos ;) Maybe our harvest season was earlier because of the upcoming crap winter? I will try to find out the reason and get back to you... Anyway, for Thanksgiving, I always like to take a moment to think about all the things that I am thankful for. In honour of the holiday, here are a few:

- I am thankful for my beautiful, healthy boys.
- I am thankful for my best friend/husband.
- I am thankful for my family.
- I am thankful to be blessed with so many awesome friends.
- I am thankful to have a job that I love.
- I am thankful for good dinners with good company.
- I am thankful for a cosy sweater on a cool morning.
- I am thankful for the $10 that I found in my old jeans pocket.
- I am thankful for a crisp apple on a sunny autumn afternoon.
- I am thankful for a great cup of coffee in the morning.
- I am thankful for warm sun on my face.
- I am thankful for a good glass of wine while I enjoy a moment on my front porch at the end of the day.
- I am thankful for the community in which I live.
- I am thankful to live in a country where I do not fear daily that bombs will fall down on my house.
- I am thankful to be able to send my children out to play and not fear about the sniper across the street.
- I am thankful that I can cook good and plentiful food for my family.
- I am thankful that, as a girl, I was encouraged to go to school.
- I am thankful that I can openly disagree with my country's leaders.
- I am thankful for the right to vote.
- I am thankful that my boys will not be pulled from my home to fight in some undeserving war.
- I am thankful that, as a woman, my only limitation is my own imagination.
- I am thankful to tuck my boys in at night.
- I am thankful for moments of peace in the world.
- I am thankful for small gestures of kindness.

  1. Happy Thanksgiving

    Her i DK har vi ikke taget denne højtid til os. Vi har selvfølgelig en anden - Mortens Aften, hvor vi i min familie spiser and (generalprøve til julen) - (vi holder dog ikke fri fra job) - Det gør vi så Bededag (den dag hvor de varme hveder er et hit.

    Pudsig Thanksgiving ligger på forskellige datoer, og som du selv nævner, kan det have noget med vejrlig at gøre, læste et sted det har noget at gøre med høsten den er kommet godt i hus :-)

    1. Håber det er okay jeg skriver på dansk, hellere det en jeg bruger google translate, for selv jeg der har svært ved at udtrykke mig på engelsk både mundtlig og skriftlig, forstår heldigvis det meste, ellers kan jeg da plukke i ordene og her få hjælp af google translate.

    2. Selvfølgelig! Det er fint, at du skrev i dansk. Jeg kan praktisere så jeg er glad! :)

      I always enjoy a nice long weekend with family. It lets us take a little breather and have some extra time for a change ;)
