February 23 - Gratitude

Gratitude is the word I got from my god box this morning. I have heard it said that gratitude isn't about having everything we want, but wanting everything we have.

We're going to the midwinter roundup tonight. Last year they didn't have one and after a bit of bitchin', I eventually accepted that as it is what it is. We were happy to learn that it's on this year. I've been attending them every year since 1998 and we've been going together every year since 1999, so it's kind of a big thing for us.

I learned from talking to different people that there won't be the same choir on Sunday morning. Apparently, they have disbanded sometime over the last 2 years. And, I also learned that the usual First Nations dancers won't be there for the opening. So I'm not going to have everything I want this weekend, but I still want everything I have.

It is what it is.
