Big day today! I am now officially a Canadian citizen!
It's hard to express how great a feeling this is for me. I have lived in Canada as a permanent resident for many years, and somehow I still felt like an outsider. Today I started really feeling more at home. Like this is it--this really is my home now. And I am so, so happy about that.

@mirabilis Thank you! I feel that way about genuine, deep smiles too!
