Canadian Thanksgiving is this weekend and even though
blessings are not only bestowed on us this one weekend, but every day of the year,
we usually take time to acknowledge what we are thankful for in our lives. During this past year, I have thought a
lot about what I am thankful for in my life.
First, my husband of 37 years who has been my partner, my
friend and my rock. I can’t imagine my life
without him.
My
children, each special and unique in different way. They have brought me years of laughter, joy
and pride.
My
daughter-in-law and son-in law. Both intelligent, thoughtful and caring people.
They have completed our family.
They bring joy to my heart and knowing that my children will be taken
care of long after I’m gone, gives me peace.
The grandchildren.
The special little ones who have come into our lives. Little beacons of light that light up the dreariest
of days.
I’m
also thankful for life. To be able to get up every morning and watch the
sunrise or see the Northern lights dancing above our house, hearing the coyotes
howl, the birds sing or even the crunch of the leaves as the squirrel scurries
about. The friendships with the people I've met over the years and the friendships I've developed over time online with so many wonderful photographers and great women have helped me through some rough patches this year.
So many things to be thankful
for, but I am really not thankful for
this nasty cold that has developed over the weekend.
