I began this tradition on this blog years ago where I would list 5 things I’m thankful for during that particular year. I’ve been looking forward to the break over Thanksgiving that I completely forgot it’s the time of the year to give thanks. I wish my blogging friends in the US a Happy Thanksgiving and even if you’re in an area in the world where you don’t observe Thanksgiving, there’s always time to give thanks, even to the little things in life.

Like it or not, I will always look back on that trip because so far, that trip is ranked at the top of my best trip list. This picture is a picture of a fallen tree trunk at Bryce Canyon. In the snow, it looked like something else, like a sleeping beast in the snow. Nature has its weird ways of creating art, doesn’t it?
Another one from the trip.
There seem to be quite a bit of brown landscapes. I’m pretty sure it’s just the time of year for that color to surface as the days are at its shortest and the nights are at its longest.
Surprisingly, by the time I made it to northern Arizona, I found out I get 30 minutes of daylight than I do at home. Funny how much of a difference 6 degrees of latitude can make.
Anyway, this is just a tree, somewhere along highway 95 in southeastern Utah, surviving, I guess, beside a nearly dried up river. I feel like many of us are in similar situations – just surviving, trying to get by day to day.

Monday Thoughts – Fathers
Recently, I realized something, that I’ve known both my biological father and my stepfather for 5 years each. That would mean, of my entire life, there’s only been 10 years when I had two parents.

Monday Thoughts – S.A.D.
In relates to last week’s Monday Thoughts, I think my S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) is starting to set in, and it’s worse than before because unlike prior years, I feel like I have absolutely nothing to look forward to this year like nothing in the next 2 or 3 months.

Monday Thoughts – I thought I am okay

I have been in quite a bit of meetings at work lately since I’m helping to integrate a piece of software into the current accounting software to help automate a task. Last week, as I was trying to hold a meeting, with my door closed, my mom was talking loudly with my aunt right outside my door to the point where I had to excuse and mute myself and tell her to pipe down. Afterwards, she told me she thought I was talking to myself and got angry at me.
