without love, is no life at all” ~ Leonardo da Vinci

It’s been awhile hasn’t it? Time has a way of going by so fast yet it
never goes faster than 60 seconds per minute… funny had that happens. Ten years ago today, a Monday, so many lives
were turned upside down and so many families lost love ones when Katrina hit
the Gulf Coast. I was at the hospital my
kids were spread all over or so if felt.
I wasn’t able to hear from them and that was one of the worse feeling I
had ever had. Ten years and yet I can
remember somethings about it as if it where last week. It’s kinda funny that I’m sitting here and I’m having problems getting in touch
with the kids. Guess that goes with
getting older – just not needed as much.
I retired in December of 2013 and
things were going good or so we thought until October of 2014 when the news
broke that the hospital had not being paying into the retirement system. As of today we, the retirees aren’t sure
what is going to happen. For over 8
months I wasn’t able to sleep worrying about it and at one point it even go so
bad I wasn’t able to pick my camera up.
The one thing that I loved to do, I couldn’t. I wish I could say I’m back to 100% with my photography,
but the fact is I’m still having a few problems and at times I just have to
force myself to get up and go shoot.
When I do go out, I enjoy it, but still way back in my little brain
there’s that fear that I still may lose everything – and that is such a sinking
feeling. This morning I went over to
Bayou La Batre to shoot. The weather was
great and I really enjoyed it, but I must say this as much as I enjoy shooting
and seeing things the way I do there’s something missing. I get so tired talking to myself and getting
the same reply. HAHA
While I’m taking about my pictures -- Debi Lane has gotten me to a couple of art and craft shows and even join the South Mississippi Art Association. Now here’s the big thing... Wade, the president, has asked me to give a program on the 8th. It may be a train wreck, but I’m looking forward to it. At least I’ll get go show off some of my work to people that hasn’t seen it. Well I hope I can start and keep this up again.
