#4x3GratitutdeChallenge Thanks to my friend Michael Haley for nominating me for this challenge. For the next 4 days I will list 3 things I am grateful for. 1) Being born, and born in Canada. 4 years ago, for specific business reasons, I was walking across the border from Mexico to the United States. Seeing the large wall, barb wire, guards, and hoards of people begging outside for any help they could get. I felt very humbled and grateful to be born, which is really just a lottery ticket, in a country like Canada. I take things for granted everyday that people die for in other parts of the world 2) Having a mother that cared about learning, self education, and pride. Despite being raised on social assistance most of my life growing up, my mother sacraficed tremendously to be there for us, teach us the importance of self respect and education. As a result 3 out of 4 of us graduated from College or University. All of us a great people, hard workers and respectful of our mother as well as caring people. 3) Different immigration rules a few years ago. If it wasnt for an inflow of people from other countries to Canada, we wouldnt have the interesting diversity in our country. But most importantly, Theophilos and Ageliki would not have brought their wonderful daughter here from Greece for me to meet and marry. I dont know what my life would be like without her and I dont care to ever think about it. Chrissafo is the love of my life.
