Hmm, since when did I start speaking french? Today is the Canadian Thanksgiving; yes, Canada's Thanksgiving is different from the U.S.A one - but not like you didn't know that. There's a few minutes left in the day, so I'll do my part of the whole "giving thanks" thing.
Honestly, today was an awesome Thanksgiving when the Oilers destroyed the Predators. I got out to Londonderry to pick out my next pair of glasses, which I don't usually look forward to, but got it done with. Supper was pretty awesome too; we don't usually do turkey because it requires a lot of prep, so we did chicken in stead: the best alternative. All in all, it was a good day.
Instead of coming up with an entire list of things I am thankful for, I've come to a conclusion that the thing I am really grateful for is the ability to be thankful. When someone learns to be thankful, they have come a long way to realizing who they are in comparison to everyone and everything else. When you're thankful, you've learned that you're a privileged person; you wouldn't take things for granted because you realize that everything you have, from good health and working body parts to the stable job, is a blessing from above. When you're thankful, you appreciate life a whole lot more because you're not stressing over the little things; heck, when you're thankful you stress less. When you learn to be thankful, you're a much more pleasant person; you're generally happier more often than not.
That is my daily horoscope reading for you, whether you are a libra, a dragon, or a whatever the heck kind of weird Greek name or Chinese zodiac you are.
So, from one grateful person to another, what are you thankful for today?
