Well, it's Thanksgiving week after all, so how about what we're grateful for.
Something in your own life, and something in the world you're grateful for, even little things.
1) I'm grateful I have income to get by, alot of people don't.
2) I want to thank God for dogs. Dogs are the best. I don't have one right now, but
they mostly want to please and be loyal.
I am grateful for my God and my faith.

Uploaded by TEDxTalks on Jun 11, 2011
Nature’s beauty can be easily missed -- but not through Louie Schwartzberg’s lens. His stunning time-lapse photography, accompanied by powerful words from Benedictine monk David Steindl-Rast, serves as a meditation on being grateful for every day.
This piece includes his short film on Gratitude and Happiness. Brother David Steindl's spoken words, Gary Malkin's musical compositions and Louie's cinematography make this a stunningly beautiful piece, reminding us of the precious gift of life, and the beauty all around us.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
