Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

Today is Thanksgiving in Canada and while it's not quiet the event it is in the U.S. it is still an event. It doesn't make the news, we don't have big parades, it's not a huge shopping day and there's no day long football frenzy and our Prime Minister does not pardon turkeys in a media event.

Thanksgiving TurkeyNonetheless, in Canada, it is an important family affair. The meal is usually traditional with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatos, gravy, cranberry sauce and all the fixings. It's a carbohydrate indulgence extraordinaire. So if you have overindulged and are feeling "turkey drowsy", get out and take a family walk. Not only will it be good for your health but you can take the time to appreciate the majesty of the fall colors and crisp autumn air.

Just as a side note, that "turkey drowsiness" is usually chalked up to high levels of tryptophan, an amino acid, found in the turkey but it's an urban myth. The levels of tryptophan are no higher than most other meats. It's the combination of turkey, massive amounts of carbohydrates and alcohol that make you drowsy.

So, I want to wish all my Canadian readers Happy Thanksgiving! and may you find thanks every day in all aspects of your life!
