9 Things to be Thankful for This Season

Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving in October while Americans celebrate in November. As the season changes from summer to fall, today is as good a day as any to reflect on what we can be thankful for. Here are nine things to be thankful for this season.

1 Friends and family

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to reflect and be thankful for the good friends and family members who we have in our lives. The ones who make us laugh and make us feel valued.

2 Food

Turkey is the most popular food choice at this time of year. It doesn’t matter what you choose to celebrate the occasion with – good food is delicious food worth eating.

3. Autumn weather

Crisp, cool mornings to start the day. When the sun comes out, the golden colors add to the mixture of hues.

4. Pumpkins

Thank you to the abundance of pumpkins at this time of year: pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin-orange colored themes, and jack-o-lanterns.

5. Movies

Celebrating movies that put us in a thankful mood – even if the movie is not about Thanksgiving. 

6. Nature

Such a beautiful time of year for walks in nature. The air is crisp in the mornings and cool at night, the sound of leaves crunching under your feet. Animals and other critters are busy getting ready for winter.

7. Holidays

Time off, whether you celebrate in October or November. It’s a time to recharge and spend time with family, enjoy a meal, and think of gratitude.

8. Colors

Celebrate a change in color, from summer greens to autumn golds, yellows, and browns.

9. Mazes

Walking through a corn maze taller than yourself, using a map, and trying your best to get out as quickly as you can.
