On this Thanksgiving weekend, for what are you thankful?

I am thankful that I am Canadian and that I am living in Canada. I am thankful for our health care system. I am thankful to live in a country where the quality of the air is very good. I am thankful for our relatively peaceful country. I am thankful for the beauty of the Canadian landscape.

I am thankful that I live in a nice home and that I have plenty of food in my cupboards and fridge. I am thankful for my daughter. She is now a beautiful, young independent woman, sho lives independently of me in everyway.

I am thankful for my internet friends. I am thankful for "Canada Forums" and all of those of you who contribute regularily.

I am thankful for my health. I am a twelve year survivor of what was very bad breast cancer. After three surgeries inside of five weeks, one month of weekday, daily radiation treatments and six months of chemotherapy - I am still here. Still here to write this note about some of the many things for which I am thankful.

For what are you thankful?

Kind Regards to All,

Lorraine.

Hi Rose,

What a beautiful name. Thank you for introducing yourself.

I think that if every day we think of or remind ourselves about the things for which we are thankful, we will remain more positive, happy and content with our state of being.

Regards,

Lorraine.

What a great topic!

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite time of year. It seems to me that it would be very hard to hate, to go to war, to feel morally superior to, or willing to watch someone suffer, while you were reminding yourself of all the amazing and wonderful things tht have brought you to your present place in life.

I am thankful for the incredible luck of being born in one of the richest and kindest countries in the world. I am thankful that my children were able to grow up healthy, to always have had food for the table, to always have had warm boots in the winter. I am thankful for our medical system, that allowed a grandaughter who would have otherwise died, to now be living a healthy, and totally delightful life. i am thankful for the developmentally disabled people I work with, who constantly teach me how to be happy. I am so very thankful for all the people who have passed through, or lingered, in my life, for their treasured gifts of friendship and love. I am thankful to David, who although he is no longer with us, continues to bring a smile to my heart. And I am thankful that my dog thinks I'm perfect!

Hi Joanne,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I don't know how you could give yourself the "handle" of "Old Bag". You are a very pretty lady and you seem to be a lovely woman.

Regards,

Lorraine.
