Bright?
This time last year I was climbing the Arc de Triomphe for the 3rd or 4th time and we were marveling at the awful spaceship lights on the Champs Élysées. This year? I would give anything to see those horrible lights and climb some 284 stairs to my favorite view in Paris.
I am stuck behind red lights and traffic and no building is more than 3 stories high and the best skyline view I have is the sunset over Wal-Mart.
But, (yes, there is always a but...) I am here with my family and at this point in my life is something I am so thankful for. Not being here the past two years and certainly not knowing where I will be next year makes this one seem extra special for me. And although some of them won't admit it (you know who you are), I am certain they are just as thankful to have me here as I am to be here.
