Doubly thankful

I’m fortunate to be able to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday twice; the Canadian holiday is this weekend and the American one in late November. To me, it’s vital to be grateful for something each day, even when you get soaked in the rain, your kiln is on the fritz and your Internet connection is sketchy. Let’s face it, on what we reckon is our worst day, we are better off in North America than most inhabitants of this fragile blue marble.

As I prepare and consume an abundance of food this weekend with my family, I know I will be grateful for my friends and loved ones, my colleagues, my home and the work that I get to delight in each and every day.

Pleased Thanksgiving to you.
