Day #1

A few years back I blogged the 30 days in November for all the things I am thankful for. It was a great experience and I think it is time to do it again. Not sure anyone still visits my sad neglected blog, but I do this for me.

Today I am thankful for challenges.

Trying to find a visual image isn't easy. Challenges mean different things to different people. Each person defines it for themselves.

This is pretty close for me. A road to travel. Sometimes unfamiliar, sometimes difficult, other times full of beauty and lends the feeling of strength and power. A road you walk alone but sometimes others can be there to help along the way, or make it more difficult path to travel. At the end of the road lies a destination that gives a feeling of accomplishment and joy at having arrived.
