Giraffes, Gratitude & Grandchildren, Oh My!
I have been to the Philadelphia Zoo countless times over many years and never considered feeding the giraffes.
Enter my 11-month-old granddaughter.
Next thing I know, I am face-to-face with two beautiful, extremely tall animals. I am wrestling to hold on to the branches from which they are eating while my granddaughter is locked in and squealing quietly with delight!
Which brings me to gratitude.
I am thankful that this small human being is motivating me to open my eyes and try something different, i.e., seeing the world of the Zoo anew.
