What a wonderful world we live in. As I was traveling to Arizona to spend Thanksgiving with my sons David and Vance and daughter's Erin and David's wife Sara, I looked at the beautiful world around me. How grateful I am to have eyes to see. What incredible beauties are around us that we can choose to be aware of, or we can choose to let them dissolve like the sunsets that distill across the desert, without taking notice. 

Like everything else, we can be so involved with the little things in our lives that pile up around us, that we forget that outside our realm of dailies, there is an exciting and beautiful world. Take time to look around and be thankful for the world we live in.
