It is Canada Day. My deep thoughts on what it means to be a patriot are here on my personal blog. But I want to take a moment to appreciate Canada.

Is Canada perfect? No, no country is, but we have stability and freedom, which is more than you can say for many places.

As I take a moment to start my tangling with gratitude, I will think of Canada. I will think of her strengths and praise them. I will also consider her weaknesses and work to improve them.

Because that is what is meant by “True patriot love”: not mindless worship, but wanting it to be the best it can be.

In Gratitude and Appreciation,

Sarah
