As much as I love life in other countries, I absolutely love living in my home in the United States. I took these photos, moments ago, within blocks from my home. Because I felt like I was losing my mind today because of my inability to run (broken hand), today I went for a very long walk. I believe that I am fortunate--not simply because I am, but because others deserve as much, perhaps give more than I do, but in many ways have less than many of my family and friends. Many of my best friends on this planet, are the most beautiful people I know, I am well aware they dream to have such a life. This is not arrogance. It is gratitude. I often wish I could give as much to them, as they give to me. I honestly feel like I fail many of my friends in this way. This is why I love Central America and the African continent so much. For this reasons, I take absolutely nothing for granite and always realize that what I have, is more than enough.
