Thankful for…

I am thankful for the opportunity to follow my dream and would encourage others to do the same. For to follow your heart will always lead you in the right direction, be that place or people. Living with gratitude for who, what and where surrounds me fills me with an indescribable joy.

I am thankful for my parents that brought me into this amazing world.

I am thankful for my children and all they’ve taught me.

And I’m thankful for sunsets at the end of the day, as I don’t like to get up early for sunsets but am thankful for them too.

Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for all of you.

To view more skies from around the world go to Sky Watch Friday.

Victoria Falls–on the Africa wish list

While researching possible places to visit in Africa I put Victoria Falls high on my list. Known by the original people as “Smoke that Thunders” the falls mark the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. I’m thinking this might be the perfect place to fulfill my wish to take a hot air balloon ride.

Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Claimed to be the largest waterfall in the world with a width of 5604 feet (1708 m) and a height of 354 feet (108 m) that forms the largest sheet of falling water in the world. During the wet season,peak flood being March and April, the falls may not be visible from the ground due to the powerful mist and during the dry season, November and December, the rocky basalt cliffs may be visible. I’ll take the view however I can.

Is Victoria Falls on you bucket list?
