What is on your mind - Page 364

funkyfemme · 02-12-2012, 10:46 AM

My Mama is currently on my mind. I found out yesterday that she's in the hospital and will be for 5-7 days. We are somewhat estranged at the moment but have always been very close so this is especially hard. We swapped a few texts yesterday about whether I need to go home and take care of her. We will make that decision after her week in the hospital. I just feel so alone and very scared for her.

I'm not positive where I got my *brownie* at. Even back then, it was called a point and shoot. With it's faux, but tasteful, leather wrappings. In between I played with some off brands, like the polaroid and the 110 spy camera, that produced grainy pictures. I did love the instamatic with the four flash *cube*. Hearing Kodak was closing the doors on the Camera productions made me take a look at my collection over the years. Flash devices and 35 mm win by far. I even have a few of the familiar yellow and red film boxes. Unopened. Not sure what I was waiting on. ASA's from 100 to 400, pretty standard. Also a stash of empty film containers. Laughing, a few are tin. There is a time line here. It gives me a new meaning to the words KODAK MOMENT.

As a photographer, I appreciate the old cameras and collect them also. Thanks for this post. Made me think it was time to pull out some of my collection including the old "Brownies" and appreciate the history. I really like the old "vest pocket" cameras.

Classic vest pocket cameras!

Sagittarius: Social activities are fun, but you may grow bored with shallow communication today. Fortunately, this is a great day for spiritual renewal and your beliefs can guide you through a complex situation. You could even remember something from your past that deepens your convictions. However, you aren't required to share your inner experience with anyone now; there's no need to explain where your inspiration comes from. Simply aim the arrow of your intentions high without settling for less.

I'm in a mood to hide with a good book today and not have to deal with the cold weather or the gray office walls.... If I could pull a book from my shelves today it would have to be something by Carey. I'm hungry for her lyrical writing style and vivid descriptions of beauty and grace.

“I would that I could have stopped time and preserved that day forever. It was a perfect day. There was the shadow of sorrow, yes. It would always be there. But that was the nature of life. The bright mirror and the dark, reflecting one another. And today there was so much brightness.”

I can close my eyes ... and feel her closeness beside me ...
the touch of her small hand squeezing mine.

Smell her hair ...

I sense her ... the same as if it were yesterday.
