Day 775

Another rose

Got a bit lazy yesterday and didn't get a blog done.  I was up for the biggest part of the day - just not very motivated.  This is the Relay for Life weekend, and I just don't have the energy or the strength to go take part.  I feel horrible for that - I should be right there supporting all the cancer survivors and those fighting cancer.  But, as with last year, I just can't do it.  It is overwhelming when you see the number of people - and this is a small community.  So, like an ostrich, I hid my head in my covers and stayed home.

I began to wonder if the world had stopped because Michael Jackson died.  Was there nothing else newsworthy?  I thought this morning I would get up, and it would be much like Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett - but, it still seems that there is no news other than Jackson's death.  I'm sorry...I guess I just don't feel the way so many people do about death.  Regardless of how you choose, who you are, wealthy or poor - when you die, you are just another cold body on a slab.  The glory is in what happens to your soul.  And when a celebrity dies and so much is made of it, I can think of several normal, every day people who so much more deserve the recognition.

Not sure what today will bring.  I do know that I need to go somewhere and take pictures of something besides the flowers in my yard.  LOL  I remember my friend saying that she was becoming very dissatisfied with her photos because they all looked the same.  She was a fantastic photographer - but so limited in being able to get out...and she was right.  Her photos were fantastic, but they all began to look the same.  I am feeling that way about mine now.  I do not do artificial water, so when there are water drops on the flowers, it is from the rain.
