"He was mentally slow, unsociable and adrift forever in his foolish dreams."

A Moment to be Thankful
Thankfulness and gratitude is the theme for Thanksgiving.  Besides being a worthy topic, that topic is also along the same line of thinking that I began my year with -- positive thinking.

A great reminder came to me one evening while I was reading. The idea of how our faith supplies us with the simplest of needs struck me as a microscopic idea, simple and extremely meaningful.

Glimmer of Brilliance 
In the middle of my reading a glimmer of the western sky caught my eye.  Through the upper window in my study the crimson color of the sunset pulled my focus to the performance on the horizon right outside my window.  Brilliant gifts continued to spill forward as the earth rotated and maneuvered toward Missouri nighttime. There were more combinations of majestic beauty in those moments than I could have hoped to see in a week of time ... all glittering freely right before me.

The awe inspiring moments reminded me of Albert Einstein's work.  Einstein explained the color of the sky like this:
In the evening the sky turns orange and red.  This happens because the visible light rays are hitting the particles in the air at different angles and at different speeds [than during the day] so the sky color changes from blue, that we see in the daytime hours, to a nice red-orange color. 
Foolish Dreams 
Of course Einstein had some very deep thinking to go along with those simple thoughts written above but, did you know this was said about him, by a teacher, when he was young: 

"He was mentally slow, unsociable and adrift forever in his foolish dreams."

'Adrift forever in foolish dreams' may not sound like a great physicist but his creative ability to imagine was all a part of Einstein's genius. 

As a young boy, Albert began to wonder what a light beam would look like if you could run alongside it, at the speed of light. [These thoughts were inspired by a book someone gave him.]  And from there his theories, such as the Theory of Relativity, sprung. 

I'm thankful for each evening that I have an opportunity to witness the majestic beauty of the sunset, that carries me into the next day with positive thoughts about all I've been blessed with in my life.
