I try, I really do...

Every year I try to spend some time around Thanksgiving thinking about what I might be thankful for if asked. I've gotten better and worse at the thought process as I've gotten older. Better because I think I take it more seriously, don't settle for the tried and true answers like health, family, job, etc..... Those are all good things to be thankful for but like all of us, I think anyway, we accept that they are part of our lives until something happens. Worse because as I get older I seem to be becoming more jaded, more indifferent, less emotionally aroused by life and the things around me. So I poke around my brain as I look for thankful significance in something less common, some thing different. This morning I happened upon a picture that I had seen before but didn't know the story behind.

tells the story from the photographers first hand knowledge. It is the story that awoke a thankfulness inside me.
