I could list all the reasons why this was a thoughtful and perfect gift for him, but I won't. Not right now anyway. With that being said, that camera has made him so happy. So many Saturday mornings he is at some beautiful spot capturing the perfect light and scenery before I even wake up. He enjoyed last week's roller derby match through the lens of this camera. Him sitting at the computer looking skillfully at the hundreds of shots from his last shutter party (what I like to call it) is now a regular occurrence in our home. His handpicked shots.
My favorite part of this camera is the joy that this has brought him. His spirit needs creative expression the way mine needs a good book. It awakens all his passion and excitement in a way I haven't seen in a while.
Sometimes I wonder if what this world is missing is more passion. What if all of our spirits were overflowing with excitement and contentment?
What a great reminder for myself to take time to do what fills my heart. Knitting. Girl dates. Reading. Napping. A good PBS program.
