Happy Canada Day!. I am celebrating indoors. Allow me to repost how wonderful it is for me to live in Canada.
Today, on July 1st, I have to go to the big city … downtown Vancouver. My goal is to purchase another bag with wheels for daily use at the main department store, Hudson Bay.
Across The Bay, I met Steve. A man originally from Jamaica and loves to give free hugs. Hugs, what a wonderful feeling to give and receive one of the most fundamental human touches.
We love ❤️ Canada.
Soon after, two young women were having a good time doing selfies to take shots of Canadian flags on their hair. I must admit they look pretty in red and white colours. I asked if they are Canadians. In unison, they replied we are Japanese. We love Canada.

Vancouver is a prominent party place. A sea of red and white flags, shirts, socks, headbands people too proud to wear. I must admit red and white are the true colours of True North.
A hug is worth a thousand words—a good feeling.
My heart soars to be here with them even though I wasn’t really thinking of celebrating. I did not find the bag. Before going home, I returned to see Steve for another hug.
With all the countries on earth, born in the Philippines, I finally found a home. Canada.
Reflections 
Canada is my home too. Canada has given my family many opportunities to have a better life as long as you’re a hard worker. Thank you Canada!

What a wonderful part of the world you live in.
You do, too, since we both live in Canada.
Ah yes, but your coast is extra special.
Happy Canada Day to you, Perpetua!
Thank you, Lois. Your’s coming up soon.
