I can\u2019t really say that I\u2019m thankful for a whole lot outside of the typical generic ones, like the people around me, but one thing that I am genuinely thankful for is that my life is, although often times erring on the side of boring, but somewhat stable.<\/span><\/p>\n

My family drives me nuts from time to time, but that\u2019s what family does.\u00a0 My job might be kind of mundane and boring, but it affords me the ability to pay the bills and sustain my fairly simple life.<\/span><\/p>\n

The benefit to stability is the fact that when things aren\u2019t going so well for others, I can be at my peak condition of being able to offer help and support, because things aren\u2019t necessarily that complicated in my own life.\u00a0 And it\u2019s cyclical; it goes without saying that stability isn\u2019t achieved without a decent support system in place for me, if and when I ever need it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, enough of the sappy bullshit.\u00a0 I got a new lens for my camera that I\u2019ve decided to try out, a 50mm \u201cnifty fifty.\u201d\u00a0 Obviously, I\u2019m somewhere below a beginner when it comes to taking pictures, but so far, I like the potential what this little new lens has to offer.\u00a0 So prior to the obligatory group pictures I make everyone \u201csuffer\u201d through, I was playing around with it, noting its aperture settings, even on automatic shooting.<\/span><\/p>\n
