It’s Thanksgiving Weekend here in Canada and to emphasize the idea of being grateful for one’s life and blessings (I mean, we have to be thankful *everyday*, not just this week) I’m writing this quick entry.

I’m extra thankful for my dear photography friends, Tat and Pat, for keeping me company yesterday. Glad that I was able to share food with them (I cooked!), take photos, and realize than I am lucky to have friends whom I can share my hobby with. I am also grateful that our friendship not only encompasses photography but real life aspects as well. THANK YOU.

This weekend I get to relax and watch shows and I had a turkey dinner (it’s our usual, everyday dinner except for the huge turkey) with my family and I am grateful that we are complete, that everyone is safe and warm inside our home. There has been so much blessing that has been granted to this household. THANK YOU.

I am currently talking to K as I type and yesterday we just booked my ticket to see him again. I’m going on a week-long holiday hopefully to relax, catch up with him and his family and friends, and study. Do a bit of a soul-searching and cleanse my thoughts. I am grateful that he loves me and I am able to love him in return, and that we’re still together for the past 2 years. THANK YOU.

Finally I am grateful because photography has never left me and has helped me cope through the good, bad, and mundane times of my life. I celebrated by shooting film this weekend. THANK YOU.
