On the Bright Side of Life

After a few days of ranting it’s time to turn over a new leaf and look at the nicer side of things.  Canada has received a very nice forecast from Environment Canada for the fall weather, above seasonal temperatures for most parts of the country.  Economic growth is slow, but it’s still growth.  The harvest has been good in most parts of the country due to a nice warm summer.  In fact, I have been very grateful that we are in the last days of August and still haven’t had frost.  How good is that?

      There’s all the good things in a person’s private life; family and friends who socialize and laugh together.  The fact that we live in one of the safest countries in the world.  The fact that we have food in our grocery stores and schools that function.  Hospitals with terrific doctors and nurses.  Things we generally take for granted.

      But somehow, it’s always easier to complain than to say thank you.  I’m a month early, but I am saying thank you tonight.
