The other day one of my roommates moved out. She took with her the only decorations on the walls in our living room (a transformer poster and about six small black and white photos) and the little entertainment "center". One of my other roommates decided that we needed decorations, I agreed. So she cut up her calendar of flowers and went to work all evening and went to DI to get an entertainment center only to come back with pictures and then head back to get the one we decided on that was already gone within the ten minutes she was home. In the end, we rearranged the living room and decided to wait for an entertainment center that we will love so we can paint it bright colors.
So what am I
thankful for today? So many many things, but
CAMERAS are going to be featured.
You see I don't have one. I wish I did, but I don't. There's so many things at school that I would love to take pictures of, whether it's doing stuff with roommates, going to events, walking along Old Main Hill and seeing the temple wrapped in brightly colored leaves, or the butterflies flying in the flowers in front of Old Main.
But for those people who have one I am very grateful. There is only one in existence in our apartment right now. Only one person owns one.
But we our apartment is benefited by
cameras because of the pictures of flowers that we are using as decoration. We are surrounded by
beautiful things and nature is able to come inside because of cameras.

I can
travel to places I've never been and travel
back in time...


... travel to places I
have been and have all the thoughts and feelings return as a result of looking at photos.


....and see everyone in my
family while I'm away (I really think it's time for a new
good family photo)
