On this Canada Day, I’m thankful for my acquired country, which, more than thirty years ago welcomed us with a teaching job for my husband. I’m thankful for the city I live in, for it’s bounty of green space and walking trails and wildlife (although I could have done without this week’s grizzly in the city warning).
I’m thankful for the recent rain which was much needed by the grass in the yard and the plants in the garden.
I’m thankful that youngest son got the fencing problem in the backyard fixed, even if it’s only in a temporary sort of way, so that I can stop having to retrieve the pup from other neighbourhood yards.
I’m thank for good books and the ability to read.
I’m thankful for a busy day ahead.
On Thursdays throughout this year, I plan to post a few thoughts of thanksgiving along with Kim at the Upward Call and others. Why don’t you participate by posting your thanksgiving each week, too? It’ll be an encouragement to you and to others, I promise.
