There is always something to be thankful for…

We are not even a month into fundraising for Evie’s surgery and we are blown away by all the generosity and kind words we have received!!

Some of the highlights from the last few weeks include reconnecting with people from my elementary, high school and university days, seeing huge support from Brian’s amazing co-workers and having heard of people who were moved by our story and shared it who don’t know us.  There are also some amazing ideas people have come up with to help us that I am so touched by and excited for (stay tuned for that)!

Friends, family, old co-workers, extended family, friends of family…the list goes on!! I thank each and everyone of you!!!

We are currently in between two Thanksgivings (Canadian Thanksgiving and American Thanksgiving for those not in North America) so there is a lot of talk about being thankful this time of year leading up to Christmas.  Months ago I was at Michaels (my zen place) and I purchased this piece of decor.  Not only did it match my bathroom’s theme but the words just spoke to me so I had to have it!

We all have struggles.  We all have worries.  We all have things we probably wish were different or easier.  Even on the hardest days, I’m sure we can all find something to be thankful for though.  A sibling, a friend, a pet, a book, a song, a sport, a sweet parking spot, a second chance…there is always something to be thankful for!

I am fortunate for the people in my life and to live in a beautiful country where there are so many possibilities and we can be who we want to be but I too have hard moments.  This little picture is right outside my shower, so it is a daily reminder that no matter what, there is something to be thankful for!!
