Thanksgiving in Botswana

This time last year, I was traveling with my sister in the amazing country of Botswana. As we prepare our dinner table for a day of thanks, I must admit that part of my heart remains in southern Africa. I am thankful for memories and look forward to my next visit. Meanwhile, as I attempt to stay grounded amongst the commercialization of the American holidays, I refer to this photograph of the simple life of two baboons in the Chobe National Park. It reminds me forever to remain curious, and never to take life too seriously.
