Gratitude

This chapter really made me think. Think about all the things in our daily lives that we take forgranted. Such as food, and water, and a roof over our heads. The opportunity to go to school. lunch. Family. Safety. So many things we encounter every single day that we have, that not many people in this world do. And yet, these things aren't enough. We always need more. Do we really NEED the newest updated cell phone? NO. Do we really NEED that new shirt to make us look good at school? NO. We are safe in Canada. The story about the man coming to the door right after the twin towers fell really moved me. You think that these things will never happen in a country like Canada, and you feel gratitude that we are in such a safe country. Even if something like this did happen, I would feel so much gratitude that I was not involved. That I was safe. We are all safe here and nobody realizes it. Everyone takes it forgranted. Try living in Kenya, Iraq, where you walk every day wondering WHEN you will die. It's not a matter of IF, its a matter of when.

I feel so honoured to live in Canada and be so safe in this country. I love this country with everything i have. :)
