You know, there are enough things going on in this world to be depressed about. Earthquakes, winter storms, unemployment, health care premiums. Oh, and my property taxes are due today (and again in two months.) But I saw this photo and was reminded about all of the things there are to be grateful for.

So, to help lighten the spirits, I’m sharing it with you. Consider it the first installment of a new series of the faces of joy. More coming soon.

By the way, this image was taken by Alan Petersime of the Indy Star. That’s five-year-old Joey Gadaleta of Greenwood taking full advantage of the recent snow.
