There are certain times when I am overcome with feelings of thankfulness... Right now is one of those times. There isn't a particular reason for it. I am just thankful.
This morning I was chatting with a few coworkers about past experiences we have had that have opened our eyes to the most beautiful things in this life . Things that can't be learned in a classroom. Things that can't be learned unless you step outside of yourself and all of your normalities. We chatted about some of the things that are hardest for me to talk about only because coming up with words to describe certain feelings and experiences is nearly impossible.
Life is beautiful to me. People are the most beautiful of all-or can be...and should be. I am completely captivated by other cultures. I adore life when it is lived simply. I find pleasure in simple things and simple people.
Hmm. Perhaps this is getting a little too personal and/or deep. Ha. I don't know. It's hard to describe feelings about certain things-so I will stop.
Perhaps a few pictures can help illustrate some of my feelings...

mmm. Yes! Beautiful places allow us to see this differently I think. Often time, it seems that we do not allow ourselves to experience other people unless we are traveling. Interesting isn't it. We find great love for other cultures while adventuring through the world but we for some reason hate diversity in our own country. These are just thoughts of course. Perhaps a tanjent from your blog but I understand, I think, how you feel. When we step outside our comfort zones we allow ourselves and others to experience the world and eachother like we would not normally do. It is beautifully really. It is just to bad that we don't do it more often.
