Joy

If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness ....... but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.

    I have been going through a bit of a rough patch lately. So rough, actually, that I didn't feel like picking up my camera. As a matter of fact, some days I felt so bad I contemplated tossing it into the trash.  Who am I to think that I can be a photographer?

    But then the baby came over. He has a way of putting things in perspective.

    I resolved to take his picture before he left. 

Shall we say he was less than enthusiastic?

At times he feigned disinterest.

But he loves to be in the spotlight.

Finally I was able to get this one!

    It's hard for me to explain, but somehow this small step forward in my attitude has to do with the fact that it is my own child's 24th birthday. 

    Happy birthday, Darling.

    Love,

    Mom
