Happy Thanksgiving
The weekend forecast doesn't look that great, but I'm still excited about Thanksgiving.
We are fortunate enough to be heading up north to the Parry Sound region, where I know the leaves will be glorious — despite the fact it's supposed to snow on holiday Monday. Brrrr! All the more reason to cozy up around my parent's wood-burning fireplace.
On the three-hour drive up, I plan to ask my daughters, "What are you thankful for?" Kids always come up with the most simple yet inspired answers, such as, " the clouds, rainbows, fresh air and sunshine."
I'm thankful that I have a healthy family. I have been especially grateful for this gift over the past month because my closest girlfriend's mother is dying and I realize how precious our health really is.
Write and tell me what you'll be saying 'thanks' for this weekend.
Enjoy the time with your family ... I'll talk to you next week.
P.S. The winners of the thing-a-ma-boob keychain are Kimberley, Jeannine and Katherine. Send me your mailing addresses and I will get them out to you

Thank you Katherine and thank you Canadian Living.
I'm thankful for living in Canada...we have freedom and we have peace!
I'm very grateful for my life, my health, my daughter, my partner, and my friends and family.
My "thankful" list could go on and on and on.....

I realize this is coming late, but then again it's never too late to say "thanks", or having a thankful attitude. I'm thankful to be with my husband and thankful for him being a wonderful husband. I'm thankful that in spite of my slipped discs slowing me down a bit, I can still take care of my family and inspire them to keep going, and they inspire me to keep striving. I'm thankful for being here in Canada. I'm thankful for life and for waking up each day to new things, new challenges, and something to be thankful for. My wish is that thankfulness will be a state of mind, that no matter what, I find something to be thankful for or says thanks to. Happy daily Thanksgiving!
