Thanksgiving, a time to take stock of the blessings and good things in our lives. It’s not always easy to do in the moment as we may not see the good in some things until time has passed and we recognize what originally looked to be a negative has developed into a positive.

Now the young man in this photo was clearly celebrating the moment fully. His shear joy of life was spilling out upon the surrounding night and could barely be captured or contained in a mere image. He was clearly hoping I would take his photo — little did he know I would have almost paid him to let me take it.

May everyone have a wonderful, loving and safe day. One of my blessings is those who visit this site and especially those who take the time to leave a comment.

His expression is certainly a thumbs up look! Fine picture of him looking so positive. I hope you now have a great after-Thanksgiving weekend!
