Day 4 of thankfulness

Freedom!

I am a Liberal voting, quasi Catholic, pro choice, university educated female. I write this blog and I can pretty much say anything I want. I might irritate you but no one is going to come knocking on my door, steal my laptop or throw me in prison. If I did get in trouble with the law I know that I have the RIGHT to a fair and expedient trial. I have clean drinking that comes right from my tape, but my life is so decadent that I also have water that comes cold and perfect from a cooler.

I can walk down the street unescorted, wearing whatever I please. I associate with whom I please. I also come and go as I please, and although I choose to be accountable to my husband, I don’t fear for my well being if I don’t ask his permission to leave the house or if I decide to have coffee with a male friend.

When I am sick I walk into a doctor’s office and I never worry if that means we can’t pay a bill that month.

I have all these things because I live in a free and just country. I am extremely thankful to be Canadian.
