The roll of film in my Grandfather's camera was exposed to light due to the disintegrated seals... that's being fixed now and I can't wait to start playing with it!
For today... I'd like to focus on the beach bum
To be fancy free and wild again. No obligations or responsibilities... can you imagine?
I remember those times quite clearly - and isn't it amazing how I longed to be older then? How I wished for 'freedom'. Freedom from school. Freedom from home. Free to drive a car - to go into any pub or club.
Funny how that freedom came with so much of the opposite!
My son asked me yesterday: Mom, is it nice to be old?
My honest answer to him was: "Yes!... But how I do miss those care-free days."
I try really hard to get it across to them that they should enjoy every step of the way, and not spend their moments wishing for the next. That's quite a difficult thing to teach. How do you get them to focus on NOW when TOMORROW seems so exciting! When their NOW is filled with "No's" and "don'ts". How do you teach them what is right and wrong without restricting them from NOW?
My only wish is that they see me enjoying NOW. Hopefully that will be enough. Enough for them not to waist the little time they have on this planet by wishing it past.
Here's wishing you the best NOW you can possibly have!
