Join me now as we take a quick trip of gratitude that led to the painting I had framed recently:
- Thailand. The painting’s native country.
- IOGT. More officially, “International Organization of Good Templars”. (No relation to Knights Templar, thanks very much.) It’s an organization with roots in the United States, but has expanded globally. Their World Congress in 2014 took place in Thailand, so Mom and I decided to attend and then spend a little more time touring the country before flying home.
- Planes. Because flying home from Asia is faster than swimming.
- Maetaeng Elephant Park. One of the sites we visited was an elephant park, where they have a few elephants capable of holding a paintbrush with their trunks.
- Elephants. Because elephant parks aren’t nearly as interesting without them.
- Paint. Because paintbrushes aren’t nearly as interesting without it.
- Elephant paintings. Add all of those gratitudes together and you can buy one of these to frame and put up on your wall. (Minus the blue stuff on the right side of the picture that’s actually the sky reflecting through the window…)
