This post is part of a series on the week of Thanksgiving (in Canada). Our contributors were asked to respond to the question: "What are you thankful for?"
What am I thankful for? I had this conversation with my three-year-old cousin the other day as I tried to explain to him what Thanksgiving is all about. I said that you can be thankful for anything and everything God has blessed you with, from your teacher to the very toys you're playing with.
Personally I'm thankful for being a Canadian citizen and all the advantages it has. Last Tuesday I voted for the first time. I was so happy to live in a democratic country and to have a say in who will represent me as a citizen.
I feel absolutely blessed to live in a peaceful, beautiful and economically rich country like Canada. I can't imagine living anywhere else.
