Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, eh? ;)

Canadian Thanksgiving, unlike American Thanksgiving always seems to come so quickly! Well, it does...on the second Monday in October! Not the fourth Thursday in November like we Americans are used to ;)

Needless to say, it has been wonderful. I enjoyed sleeping in and then going for brunch with my hubby. We had a nice fall drive, admiring beautiful houses in the heart of downtown Newmarket. I should have taken pictures, there were some really beautiful quaint houses. Some were very old...but really cool. I love how the fall colors of yellow, orange and burgundy trend through the neighborhoods, with the crunchy leaves on the ground and the golden sun rays glistening through the trees.

What a splendid time of year. Now that is something I am thankful for!

I am writing this as I wait for my laundry to finish drying at the laundromat down the street. I will certainly be thankful for a washer and dryer when that time comes! Along with a house that actually has the space....but I try not to keep my list of wants too long ;)

The time is now

Will I be spent at the end of my life?

.

Will I be able to look back at my youthful years and stand proud of how I've spent my time? Sometimes it's difficult to see the big picture of life when we have no choice but to live only moment by moment....but really it's in each moment's choices and decisions that make up the big picture.

.

Reminds me of that song that goes something like "This is your life...are you who you want to be?" I think we should all pause regularly and consider this.

Our days are numbered.

I pray mine will count. Lord let me not wait for opporunities, but pursue them.
