I've had to part with some of my most cherished cameras and accessories this month to pay our bills. This has been harder than I thought it would be. I know, it's just stuff, stuff that can be replaced... but actually that stuff wasn't easy to get in the first place, and it's not like it can just be replaced whenever. It was an important part of my life, an outlet for my creativity where I felt like I had more control than I do with my drawing or painting.
I keep telling myself it's worth it. And I know it is. I love it here so much. Our family is so happy here. Every day my children say in their family prayers how thankful they are to have this "wonderful home to live in". I know it's kind of materialistic, and that things that really don't matter are houses and we could find happiness anywhere, but this home has the possibilities of legacy. This is a place my children can bring their families to for days at a time. It's a place where my grandchildren will be excited to come to and stay for weekends or even weeks and they will love it here. It's a place that will gather my family together for generations. That's what is the most important about it, to me. And that is worth more than a million cameras.
Oh, I feel your pain. I felt it when you had to put your cameras for sale, knowing how much they meant to you. Hang in there!!!!
