Thankful...

(try large)

There are a number of fellow blippers who are experiencing personal anxieties about the hardships of others in the world who are being subjected to unbelievable pain and carnage. I wish there was something I could do..but I come up empty.


To me, it's not that I am oblivious to what is happening...but I ask myself , what can I do and what is within my control. Within me, I try and control my emotions, thinking, and limit my exposure to all the negativity that is currently happening in our world.  I know that to some, that may seem like   a cop out....but that is who I am. I truly wish I could do more and I want those of you who are reeling with pain and anger..I hear you and feel for you.


Today, on my mountain bike ride, I stopped and took this photo..and paused to say 'thanks' for the many things that are good in my life right now.
