The Queen
Mother of the Americas' Thanksgiving message
To my Canadian Children ....
May I wish each and everyone one of you a very Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving
Day.
Today is a time for us to reflect on our lives and our deeds and give
thanks for all that we have. Too often, we focus on what we do not
have - or what we want. Today is a reminder that we are all rich in
many ways and that is what we must remember today and everyday and
thank God for all that has been bestowed upon us.
For me on this day, I am grateful for and proud of our Canadian Empires,
who so richly contribute to the fiber of the International Court System.
I am thankful for my Canadian Heirs and look forward to a fine future
for all of us - you have taught me much these past two years and continue
to enlighten me when I need to be educated. We would not be the great
Court System that we are, without each and every one of our Canadian
Brothers and Sisters! Over the years, I have been privileged to meet
so many fascinating courtiers from Halifax to Vancouver - quite an
expanse and quite a diversity of people - and I look forward to traveling
to more of your Kingdoms.
So know that on this Thanksgiving Day, I am thankful to each and every
one of you and your devotion to your community, family and friends.
You are the true sprit of this special day, because you are always
giving of yourselves.
God bless you have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving
Your humble servant, Nicole
