A Thankful Heart
In Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving in October. It is a festive time as extended families gather for a turkey dinner and share all the things that they have been thankful for over the year. It is a joyous time of celebration, but this year, 2020 is like no other. Many health officials across our country recommended that we do not meet for large family dinners in person but to do so virtually as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to grow around the world. Social distancing protocols are still in effect, even though scores of people are paying less attention to these restrictions as people crave for community. People continue to die, and when we analyze the situation, is there anything to be thankful for in 2020?
