After reviewing my blog posts I realized I had not published one, (uh oh!) so here it is. One of the blogs that I read was called Beauty in the Dirt. This is an excellent blog where the writer, Teflon Don, details that one can find solace in the most unlikely of places. He reminisces upon seeing the beauty of the desert in Iraq; the clear sky, bright lights, and abundant wildlife. The blog demonstrates that even though war and hardship ensue, many can find comfort in their surroundings. It seems to be a predominant observation among the men and women of the armed services to look at the world through a different perspective while most only look at the hardships.
Best of luck to all those fighting and God bless.

I think it's good for our soldiers to be able to chill in such times. If they didn't have the time to relax and notice those beautiful things then things would be far worse for them.
I too read the post you are referring too, and it definitely caught my attention as standing out from the rest. The soldier took time out from the misery he must be feeling so many miles from his family and loved ones, and focused on the natural beauty all around him.
This is not easy for all of us to do, and I’m sure not all soldiers find themselves able to view and appreciate all that the countryside has to offer. I can only hope for a swift end to this long nightmare for our men, and that we bring them home. In the meantime it does my heart good to know that although they are in one of the most dangerous places on the earth, they are still finding time to appreciate life and all it has to offer them.
