Sometimes happiness comes in very strange ways.
These Burmese women had never seen an American in their life's and wanted to have a photograph taken with one, of course that was me. Please forgive me because I gained a some weight on my trip to South East Asia.
The reason that I am posting this story and photo is because it's sometimes the simple things in life that can make others happy. Burmese people are very, very simple and for these women and children to pose in the photograph with me made their day and they were so excited. By looking at the pic it may not look like it, but they have never had a photograph taken of them. These are simple village people with no cars, televisions and no widows or floors in their homes.
I know that times in America are very hard with the gas prices, food prices, family's loosing their homes, etc. But let's try and do the best we can today and everyday try to stop fighting, I got in a debate with another AR member last night fighting about President Bush and I don't want to fight and argue like this.
I just want to be happy and when the chips are down, bend over and pick them up. Try to stand tall and give the best we are capable of giving. We the people of the United States of America have so much to live for, let's try to live up to these standards and stop looking at all the negative things in life.
