One of the reasons Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday is because it is a simple celebration. Oh sure, we get a little carried away with the food, but we get together, we eat and you give thanks.

One of our traditions involves going around the table during the dinner and saying what we’re grateful for. It’s always fun to hear what people have to say. I would like to share with you some of the things I am thankful for. I hope you will tell me some of yours.

What I’m Grateful For

• I live in Canada, specifically, Vancouver. I enjoy the rights and freedom of being a Canadian.
• My family - my children, my husband, my sister and brothers, their spouses, my mom, my nieces and nephews.
• My husband’s family
• My neighbours at the cabin - they are the best, fun loving bunch of people I know
• My friends from Toronto to Vancouver, we might not see each other often, but we always seem to pick up where we left off.
• Our health care system -I love being able to go to a walk-in clinic, and all I have to do is show my Care card.
• Charles - the fantastic web developer who keeps CottageDaily online and bug free
• The great food and wine our country produces
• People who volunteer their time to make other people’s lives better

Ok, these are just some of the things I’m grateful for. The things I value most are not my home, or car or even the cabin, it’s the people I get to share my life with.

Here’s to friends and family.

Cheers,

Julie
