I was reminded this morning of how seeing with my camera enables me to cement a moment of appreciation of everyday things.
It helps me to notice, to be in the moment. This is my therapy.
I confess to also needing more sleep therapy. I am afraid that I shall have to forego viewing your 365 posts today, in favour of rest. I should have more time tomorrow - see you then.
Lovely Autumn colours. Have a nice rest and hope you feel perkier tomorrow.
I have been living in the moment for the last few weeks with my friend Elizabeth. She has Alzheimer's and although she knows who I am, I doubt she remember what we do when I take her out some of the time. I took her out to a U3A event yesterday and she really enjoyed herself. When I took her back to the care home and signed her back in she said 'lovely to see you are we all set to go to U3A.' I had to explain that we had already been and she was now back home again. 'Oh yes' she said. At least she was happy in the moment, even if she didn't remember it afterwards.
oh yes it's my therapy too. while some people bemoan the developing culture of people feeling compelled to snap things on their phones constantly, i find that being out and about with my camera really does make me notice the world around me in a way i never did before finding 365. and i applaud you putting sleep first last night! i followed your example and did the same, having burned the midnight oil the night before. beautiful autumnal brush - nature is pretty fantastic for producing so many different shades of yellow, red and orange in one place :)
