National Day of Thanks

Ambassador Colin Buchanan

‘There’s something about being thankful.  It’s got the oxygen of goodness about it.  It crosses the barriers of age and race, gender and culture.  It has built-in humility, the taste of grace, at least a pinch – sometimes an avalanche – of celebration.  Thankfulness takes a refreshing eye off the self and commends the other.  

That’s why I’m adding my voice – just another little splash – to the National Day Of Thanks.  Together, we can recognise and appreciate what we have, honour the contribution of those who give and serve and sacrifice, take a special opportunity as a nation to offer a simple and heartfelt “Thank You”.’
