Giving Thanks

As some of you may know, we Canadians celebrated our Thanksgiving today. It is my favourite of all the Canadian holidays, followed by Canada Day. To me, it is a day to reflect and give thanks for all the blessings in our lives and all the wonderful advantages we enjoy in this great country. I am so very fortunate to have (1) my health (2) a great job (3) awesome friends (4) a supportive family and (5) a stellar credit rating. LOL

I've been home almost six months and there isn't a moment that I have regretted my decision to be here instead of there. So much has gone right in my life since I arrived in mid-April. I am certain, without any doubt, that this is where I am supposed to be right now. I am so certain, in fact, that I threw out all of my moving boxes. In the past, I would have kept a few of the good ones but I've really made a commitment to stay for a while.

I'm not sure what the future holds for me. My first priority is getting my home into shape. I am still waiting for more furniture to arrive (couch, another occasional chair and a coffee table) and I need to hang a huge mirror and some prints to really finish the place. I have a feeling I'll be moving the furniture around until I can get the right combination of comfort and colour. Here's what I've got so far...
