Black Friday

Child's Play. Chicago Botanical Gardens, Spring 2003.

Missed The Bee. The Lurie Gardens at Millenium Park, Summer 2006.

W. Wrigley Field, May 2008.

By black, I mean literally black. This Thanksgiving weekend had been a drastic change from what "norm" had been for me for the past several years.

So I am posting a couple of pictures which are in my memory (but took me a while to dig through the hundreds of my unorganized shots) which elicit happy thoughts.

Where was it that I read that without pain, you never really understand utter joy?

Gloominess

It's exactly what it elicits - which is my current pervasive mood. I was thankful for the sunshine this morning.

And I really need to list the many things that I should be thankful for (but often get neglected).
