Thanks

I've heard things come in three. I sprained my right shoulder, somehow, recently and it's slowly getting better so for this I give thanks. I have however succumbed to a cold, yet somehow it isn't kicking me in the butt like it has in the past and for that I am also thankful. I also had to give a presentation on my research to students and faculty in my department, while sick and with a sprained shoulder and somehow managed to not draw a blank and embarrass myself. I did, however, refer to the Yukon as a province a few times and not a territory--why did I do this?

Thank goodness my adviser caught it--not my cold, the error.

I'm not American, but I'm thankful for all of them. They make the world diverse and unique, interesting and entertaining. I've always been envious of American people for the pride they have in their country, the hope that they carry for better days ahead, and for always trusting in their government and leaders to make it to tomorrow no matter what differences there might be. I'm proud to be Canadian but I'm proud to be a neighbour to such a great country--no matter what anyone up here may think.

Thanks, America! For giving me people to love and roads to drive home on with beautiful hills, magical mountains and endless skies.

Happy Thanksgiving and GO PACKERS GO!

Love,
Dawn
