Thanksgiving in Canada

This is the Thanksgiving long weekend in Canada.
A somewhat uniquely North American Tradition which, more than anything, commemorates survival in difficult times.  It is a time for family and friends to remember the importance of family and friends.  For me, it is a time to recognise how lucky I am to have the life I live when so very many around the globe, and even in our own exceptionally wealthy country, have so much less.  It's a time to remember that, if not for a few twists of fate, all of us could be leading very different lives.  I embrace Thanksgiving with joy tempered by humility.
