A blogging friend of mine hosts a blog meme called Thankful Thursday and each week people share their thoughts about what things in their life they are thankful for. In a world filled with stress, pain, suffering, and life moving much to fast, it is a great idea to stop and spend a few minutes the think about what is good in your life. I am truly thankful for the place where I live, not only this great nation, but the locale that my wife and I call home. Northwest Arkansas is a beautiful part of this country. We get to experience all four seasons, but not truly extreme winters or summers. We live in town, but the country is only a few minutes from the house in almost any direction.
The foot bridge pictured above is in Blowing Springs park, in Bella Vista, AR, which is about 15 minutes from our house. It's one of my favorite places to photograph. In the spring red bud trees and dogwoods line this path. In the summer it is a shade covered retreat from the heat of the day and in the fall, as you can see, it is filled with the colors of the season. What inspires you to be thankful. Have a blessed day.
Thanks for the shout out my friend. I agree that there is so much misery and I refuse to get bogged down in that misery. Doing this meme has really helped me focus on all the wonderful things around me.
