If we magnified blessings as much as we magnify disappointments, we would all be much happier.
Well…not exactly nowhere. But when you’re an urbanite like me, driving on a handful of secondary highways to get to Rosalind, Alberta feels a lot like the middle of nowhere.
I gladly drive those lonely highways though, to spend Thanksgiving with my daughter, her boyfriend Werner and his family.
That’s right. Here in Canada we celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October. My guess is, we pushed it up to line up with harvest time north of the 49th.
Speaking of harvest, that’s what my daughter, Werner and his parents have been up to on their family farm the last few weeks.
What’s more Thanksgiving than that?
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I’m going to practice magnifying my blessings instead of blowing up my disappointments into massive proportions, how about you?

Have you hugged a farmer today?
This post has been scheduled to publish on Sunday. When you read this, I will already be in the middle of nowhere cherishing wonderful people. I hope you are also with those whom you love. ❤

One of these days, I’m going to celebrate US Thanksgiving in your beautiful country. I hear that it’s bigger than Christmas for Americans! ❤

Blessings to you friend! I am cosy in bed reading this. Loving the weather. The silence once a thin blanket of snow forms is soothing in ways. You don’t want winter yet but love the change. I give thanks for many things this year, too many to name but I think the one thing I am the proudest of is a sense of finally being okay in my skin.
