No longer forward nor behind
I look in hope or fear;
But, grateful, take the good I find,
The best of now and here.
- John Greenleaf Whittier
Today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. It may surprise you to know that Canada's first Thanksgiving dates back to 1578 when Martin Frobisher gave thanks (in what is now Newfoundland and Labrador) for surviving the long journey to discover a northern passage to the Orient.
I hope this Thanksgiving finds you in the comfort of family and friends. They make a long journey easier to make.

Thanks Missy!- I like this.
I didn't know they had Thanksgiving in Canada. I learned something new from you today.
M...Thank you very much for that link. French isn't my first language so it will probably take me twice as long to read it.
BILL...Yup...you just never know what you might learn via this blog. Eighteen months ago, I was rather proud of our law enforcement/justice system. Now...I'm a lot more realistic.
Thanks Missy for you Thanksgiving wishes..
