What is it?
Well, we'll tell you what it is NOT... It's Not About YOU. It's about SOMEONE ELSE. It's our chance, each of us, to shine our light on someone else.
Huh? Whaddya mean?
We each spend a lot of time talking about ourselves and our lives, but we are also fairly GIVING people too...Tuesday's Tribute is a chance to talk about OTHER people, OTHER blogs, OTHER lives.
Now's your chance to shine your light on someone or something else.
Today I pay tribute to the fact that my car has never caught fire in the middle of the desert. Something I haven't particularly felt thankful for EVER in the past, but I am now.
Yes, I am now.
All it took was seeing THIS.

Yikes! How scary that would be. I am so glad they got out safely.
I know a lady whose car caught on fire in the parking lot of the Christmas Tree Shop. I told her I would have done my shopping and then dealt with it. I mean, it was going to be trouble anyway so why waste the shopping trip.
Seeing a car on fire is crazy, right?! I never saw one until I moved to the East Coast and since I've been here (about 8 yrs) I have seen this happen on 3 separate occasions. Like, I never really knew car fires were a serious threat. Thought it was a movie thing or that it at least went out in the early 80s when Ford recalled the Pinto bbq cars. Apparently it did not! Crazy!
Oh, and thanks for stopping by the blog yesterday and leaving your comments. You are so funny. I like it when you get all gangster on other bloggers, even though I know you are a softie:)!
i know this shouldn't be hilarious, but wow! i am also thankful for a non smoking car! good one, girl!
Wow I saw something on the news that happen to a family. Everyone got out but the child was burned very badly. I am also grateful that has not happen to me.
Stop by today there is something fun going on...
Wow, Scary.
I saw a video clip from yesterday about a woman and her children who needed to rely on strangers to help them out of thier burning van. I too felt very thankful that I hadn't had that happen to me.
that is a good thing to be thankful for. I am thankful for that too.
that is horrifying!!
def something to be thankful for!
I have a confession......
Anytime I see things like this I often, ok always Thank God that it isn't me. I am glad that everyone got out. I guess it is one of those things that you see and just say "I'm glad thats not me"
That is a great tribute to gratitude. We had a horrible accident here in Milwaukee where off-duty firefighters and by-standers saved a mom and her 2 young children from a firey fate. The best of humanity was shown on that day. It gives me hope and for that, I am grateful today:-)
Car fires are scary. It seems like the number increases exponentially as the temperature spikes along the drive up and down Highway 5, doesn't it?
Definitely something to be thankful for.

Holy Moly! That is crazy. It looked like you were headed out to the desert...maybe for a romantic getaway for the 11 year anniversary???
Holy Kats! Good thing everyone got out ok.
YIKES!!! It looked like a beautiful old car too!
That would be a good thing to be thankful for! My dad's VW Van caught fire just before we were going to take it on vacation!!
Yikes!
Uh yikes, now I have something new to add to my thankful list today...who knew it could be this easy...lol!
Car on fire has to be one of things I most shudder about.
wow! my car's never caught fire either, but i did have to pick up a girlfriend once who's car was on fire. i thought she was exagerating(sp?) until I got there and was able to find her via the giant smoke plume! she said she was driving along and flames all the sudden started shooting from the a/c vents. needless to say she pulled over and ran like hell from the car!
Yikes! That is not good, I wonder what happened there.
Goodness! I hate seeing those things but I am so glad that everyone got out ok. Scary!
