\"\"<\/a>A cold, damp, miserable day around the house. Still, It is beyond the middle of October, so it’s only fitting that Autumn starts to show its true colours.<\/p>\n

Time to break out the soup recipes. Time to break out\u00c2\u00a0flat breat. Time to break out the baked goods.<\/p>\n

Time to stop and give thanks for all that life has to give. Remember when I said that Thanksgiving wasn’t just limited to a day in October for Canadians and a day in November for Americans? This is what I meant. There should always be something that makes you stop, pause, reflect, smile, and be grateful every day. As a dear friend of mine gave me this quote the other day because she says it reminds her of me and the relationship I’m in: “I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I’m with you.”<\/p>\n

You see, in my mind, people put too much pressure on finding “the one” because they’re sure they won’t be ‘complete’ without a certain someone to love. But no one can complete you. A person may complement<\/strong> who you are, but that’s as far as it can go. Take a moment and be thankful for being who you are. Love starts inside of you.<\/p>\n

(It’s also the only thing in life that you have more of, the more you give away.)<\/p>\n
