Life Changing

Tulips on Campus
Tulips on Campus

Fifteen years ago I had two life changing events occur in my life: one was provided in a 12 Step Recovery program and the other was purchasing my first digital camera. I purchased a Nikon D100 in October of 2002 and I stopped drinking in January 2003. Life changing because both have given me tools to begin to see myself, people, institutions, and all of creation when properly using these tools. I am grateful for both of these tools.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

      Thank you, Brooks! We can gain those tools through many paths. Maybe a church, an illness that brings about change in how we see life and more. If am pretty sure similar events have occurred in your life.

      Thank you, Cedric. I must say that your images, blog posts and comments over the past few years have been what I need in life. Every person we encounter has the opportunity to change our lives. You have!

        Thanks Monte. You are very kind and I can assure you that it is reciprocal.

        Oh, by the way, I’ll be back on Plop soon. Don’t really know where that’s going to go just yet but we shall see 🙂

    Congratulations on both milestones, but especially the first, Monte. Both the effort you put in and the clarity of vision you received as a result are apparent in your words and your photographs.

    Wow! What a fantastic anniversary, Monte! Congratulations, my friend! That camera is a much better investment, amigo! 🙂 Also, glad to see that spring has finally made it your way, too!
