I'm thankful for being born in Canada. Basically the safest and most prosperous nation in all of human history.

I did some loose, bad math (not my strong suit) back when we were having kids and figured out that your odds, statistically (based on birth rates worldwide), of being born in Canada are less than 0.1%. So you've already won the lottery being born here, and it's the greatest gift you can give your children, to introduce them to a world where they will always be loved by their parents, always have shelter, never be hungry or thirsty, and have unlimited opportunities to be anything they want. Hundreds of millions of people around the world can only dream of what we have here, what we take for granted every day. So today I am remembering to be thankful for it!
