It's all good
Despite a nasty cold, Thanksgiving weekend was very good, with a happy family gathering at my mother's and the added bonus of our eldest sister from Vancouver in attendance.
I have everything to be thankful for. My life is an embarrassment of riches. But this year especially I'm thankful to live in this country, where it may be cold as hell for five months of every year but we live in peace, with good government and an abundance of natural beauty and not so many natural disasters. My kids can go to school, eat as much healthy food as they need and want, and imagine a future of limitless possibility.
What more could I ask for?
