We lost our camera! and i feel a little empty. I feel like i am going to miss precious moments of our lives. The truth is, it was Spencer's camera, I have never owned a camera. I have had a couple "one time use"cameras. Which brings me to my point. I went 23 years without a fancy digital camera. And now I have gone 2 weeks without it and suddenly my life has changed. Suddenly i need it. It makes me happy. Pathetic. Its sad that a little piece of metal and plastic can become something so important. But lets think of all the other things we cant live without. Microwaves, coffee makers, blenders, computers, DVD players, microwave dinners. Could you give any of that up? Would you? No you wouldn't, cause you need it. And frankly, you forgot how to live without it. We like to go camping and travel, act like we don't need our little comforts for a week. But we only do it knowing we will come back to our safe comfortable lives with our many machines that make living so easy. Really we have it so easy. Pioneers, Pilgrims, Farmers, Miners, and Explorer's, they had to make something out of nothing. We need something it is already made and waiting on a shelf at a store on every corner. Lucky we are. Don't forget. Nothing comes cheap. Life may be easier, but at what true cost. We become a little more weak, a little more ungrateful, and consume more than ever. I guess I really don't have a point. Except love everything you have! Take what you need, and leave the rest!
