This blog is being used to document the beauty of the world around me, which occurs every day but is too often over looked. By taking this time to reflect I hope to better appreciate life, and to share this with others.

229. Gore House
Gore House was the farm of former Massachusetts governor, Christopher Gore. The owner of the "Monticello of the North" served as govenor in the early 1800s.

Gore house is located in Waltham, not far from Watertown , which is home to the Perkins School for the Blind. I've noticed more braille in the metro-west area, probably because of Perkins. It still makes me very happy to see.

165. Talking about it

This photos is from the Boston Globe via Reuters. Found here.
By no means am I thankful for AIDS/HIV. I am thankful that we can start these discussions, talk about prevention, support and treatment.
I am thankful that I can hope, someday, December 1st will only be the day Rosa Parks was arrested for not giving up her bus seat.
