This weekend is Thanksgiving in Canada, which naturally has us thinking about the whole concept of thanks. While we love this particular holiday, we also firmly believe that thanks is something that should be given freely and kindly every single day for the little things as well as the large.
Think about your dog. No matter what happens, if you give them a treat, a hug, a long run at the park or a new chew toy, a dog always says thank you with a waggy tail and a slobbery kiss. Even more importantly a dog says thank you every day to their people for just being you. A dog never asks you to change, never turns their nose up at a yellow tennis ball because they wanted the trendier hot pink version and never dwells on the things that they don’t have in life. Our dogs are perhaps the most satisfied creatures on the planet, who always find something to be grateful for.
This is the example we should all follow more often. So you don’t have a house and rent a tiny apartment instead — be thankful that you have a roof over your head. So you can’t eat out as much as like — but thankful you have food in your stomach. So you make not have your dream job right at this moment — but thankful that you have a dream. Most importantly of all, however, be thankful for the people in your life (furry and human alike) because they are the ones who share your ups and downs, your silly and serious matters, and your hopes and fears. Everyone always has something to be thankful for. What is your something?
Have a fantastic long weekend!!! xoxo
