I say Happy November Thanksgiving because this is the time the States celebrate.  However, we all can join in with this time of thankfulness just as we did in October during the Canadian Thanksgiving.  We don't really need an excuse to have a time to celebrate thankfulness but it is all a part of who we are, we love to celebrate.   It is also how we can store our cherished memories that have been shared with others.  When sharing memories, there are usually pictures to immortalize these moments.

 

Just this morning, I had a set of pictures pop up on my phone from Google photos that said "5 years ago, today...  It was during a time that I went down to the States to spend Thanksgiving with Dad.  I am not able to do that anymore but the memories from those pictures are a wonderful reminder of that special time with special people who are not here anymore.  This brought me to look back on the pictures of that year.  My goodness, a lot happened that year, lots of good and some good-byes.  I am grateful for all the times I have experienced along with the people I have experienced them with.   I am very thankful and can't help but thank God for what and who I have been blessed with, even if it seems so brief.  Thank you so much!

 

How have you been able to celebrate this day?  Now and even in the past?
