Thetis was a sea nymph, one of the Nereids, daughter of Nereus (the god of the sea) and Doris. She was fated to bear a son who would be mightier than his father. Fearing for his dominion, Zeus gave Thetis as bride to a mortal, Peleus. Him she bore the son Achilles, whom she tried unsuccessfully to make immortal. The mostly known version of that is, that she dipped the child in the river Styx holding him by the heel; all the parts that the river touched became invulnerable, but the heel. Achilleus fate was to live happy with his family and die unknown or be to become a great hero. He decided to fight and die heroic at Troy.

I think you are very right in what you say, and it's a very beautiful thought and perfect accompaniment with such a fine image! I think a good reminder is indeed needed from time to time, so some people could perhaps be thankful for what they do have as opposed to dwelling about what they don't. She is most beautiful indeed, and she seems to be wearing suede... a really lovely job of surrendering this effect of texture in your image.... stunning background as well! Her eyes are most certianly captivating!
