...Thanksgiving if you're in Canada (or pining for those autumnal smells of Hallowe'en in Canada...)!!! I am thankful everyday. For family and friends. For finding new charity shops filled with linen, lace and fabric! I am thankful for my health and my feet- that take me everywhere I want to go. Even the gym. Even on Mondays! I am thankful for pens and paper to write to the people I am thankful for- for all the kind and wonderful things they are and do. I am thankful that I am loved and that I have the capacity to love. That I have friends who care as much for me as I do for them and I am thankful that I can still find it in myself to let go and stay later than 8:30pm for more than one drink at a French pub on a Friday night in the city- and then stay out to dance afterwards! Woo hoo!
Can't say I even remembered it was Thanksgiving this past weekend- 'till I overheard someone's idle chat of being homesick while I was waiting at the meat counter at Waitrose on Saturday night. Who knew there were other (displaced) Canadians in Richmond?!
well, hope the turkey was cooked, everyone was stuffed and the leaves are raking themselves...
