In honor of holiday reflections, WordPress prompts us, “Share a picture which means THANKFUL to you!”
Since I’ve addressed this recently, I will share this image of my amazing nephew and point you to his story. On a daily basis, his zest for life reminds me to be thankful for the life that I have, and to embrace every moment with a positive attitude.
Don Koen of Little Rock, Arkansas, zippping through Costa Rica’s tropical landscape!
Here’s Don’s story: WHILE THE WORLD OUTSIDE MY WINDOW GOES INSANE
Today finds me equally thankful to Doris, whose beautiful testimonial reflects that we do have the power to touch others through our words here on WordPress. Thank you, dear Doris, for your heart-felt post. (See her post HERE.)
For more amazing testimonials of ‘Thankful,’ see this week’s challenge at WordPress HERE.

Now it’s my time to take my nephew’s cue and shrug; i’m honored but sometimes baffled at the praise. thank you for helping us see that we have something of value to share with others! I’m touched. thank you. lisa
You have much of value to share. 😀
What a beautiful tribute to you by Doris.I think it’s extraordinary how wordpress has been a tool to pass on gratitude, thankfulness and friendship. Thanks for being YOU.
you are so right! (thanks, wordpress!) and you are right about doris’s post. wow, that one hit from left field, and i was – and still am – humbled. thank you, as well, for being the bright happy wonderful person that you are! z
Man…gotta love Don zip lining!
What a beautiful interpretion of thankful Lisa.
I think everyone who reads your nephew Don’s story comes away feeling positive about life and the world.
Doris’s post is a really great tribute to you and your art, and it’s even more amazing when you think that she’s never met you.
thanks, rosie! you are right, and i was deeply touched by doris’s loving tribute. some of us are open and honest, so it is easy to know one another without having met in person. you are that way as well, and i feel as if i have known you for a long time!
i just sent don your comment, and i am sure he will flash one of his big smiles. thanks for allowing that to happen by taking the time to comment!!
