Yay for Canadian Thanksgiving Day on Monday, October 10! Not only that, but October 10 is World Mental Health Day, Columbus Day in America, Health and Sports Day in Japan and my son's birthday!
Great list you have submitted. Which reminds me, I've got some Rolo ice cream in my British fridge.
Jemi, may you and your loved ones have a peaceful and positive Canadian Thanksgiving, eh :)

Now you're making me hungry. Happy Thanksgiving.

I try to be thankful every day. Instead of dwelling on the bad stuff of the day, I think of blessings.

That's a wonderful gratitude list! Magic intrigues me. I must think about this, and what kind of magic I'm thankful for.

Thanksgiving has probably been and gone by now (sorry), so I hope you and your loved ones, Jemi, had a splendid day!

Jemi Fraser said...

Elisabeth - thank you! I love it too - it's in my favourite season as an added bonus!

VR Barkowski said...

Your post made me smile. Thank you. Hope you are having a wonderful holiday weekend! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Jemi.

Ice cream with my beloved Rolos? I've never seen it either. Maybe because Hershey produces Rolos in the US and Nestle produces them everywhere else? I must do some research...

Unknown said...

Happy Thanksgiving!!! I forget that we celebrate differently! I did have pumpkin pie this weekend at the Renaissance Festival so that counts as celebratory!

Leslie S. Rose said...

Rolo ice cream! I am now on a mission to find it. Happy Thanksgiving. Perhaps a Rolo ice cream pie is in order for dessert.

Jemi Fraser said...

VR - yes! research is called for. Rolo ice cream is the BEST!! :)

Jen - that definitely counts. We've got pumpkin and lemon meringue pies happening here! :)

Leslie - oooooooh! Rolo ice cream pie sounds awesome!! Good thinking! :)

We don't have thanksgiving in Australia, but I really like the idea of a day for being thankful. We need to be reminded to be gateful for what we do have. It's too easy to grumblbe about what we don't have all the time.

Jemi Fraser said...

Tahlia - You're so right. It's so easy to complain and always want more or better. It's good to remember just how much we have to be grateful for!
