So Thankful!...

"Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience the world"  John Milton




























Amen John Milton! During the middle of a bad day, a sad moment or a stressful work hour, it is so easy to let the overwhelming feelings of pain take over and rule. Cultivating a spirit of gratitude is hard, but helps fight those bad days and keeps us smiling. It is a life lesson our mother always taught us and one we will remember forever. Be grateful. When life seems horrible you can either let it be like that, or look at the bright side. We agree with you mom and choose to look at the Sunny Side of Life :)
And so we give you..

After a busy weekend of family events, we are grateful for the opportunity to sit around the dinner table Sunday evening with our family, eat our mom's delicious pizza and just talk.

Our beautiful city Ottawa and all who made Race Weekend a success.It is a gift for us to live in the most boring city of Canada ! We love our city and are grateful!

The Companions of the Cross  and their Yes to the Lord. We  love our priests and are so thankful to be members of their parish. After an inspiring homily this Sunday that left us all thinking about the Trinity and Dante together, we realized (again) that we are all SO grateful for the Companions.

This weekend we looked through old photos for a certain wedding slideshow and we laughed, ohhh-ed, ahhed and said lots of 'remember that'? We realized how thankful we are for our family, and the relationships our parents worked hard at instilling.
