I had a pretty rough September. But looking back on this thread helps a bit.

I saw this photo essay in July and it is nice to see it again.
It does deserve to be bumped up and augmented with new pictures and stories.

Uplifting...

Here is a recent example - sorry you have to listen to a 30-sec ad before the story plays...

That was awesome. Yes, I wish I can edit this thread and add more stuff to it. I still look back at this once in awhile. It is really up lifting.

Thank you guys for the bump.

Since this thread is a year old now.

I thought it would be nice to add another video to this thread. Please feel free to share any picture, video, or stories.
