My skills with the camera are weak but I so understand the "therapy" you would gain from taking the pics and looking back over a picture diary. <br /><br />When my husband passed suddenly, my well wishing sisters ushered me off to a therapist. I went every week faithfully for about 18 months realizing soo into the sessions that my ability to heal laid within my emotional framework. I chose to do things, similiar to photography, to help me too find the beauty that within my reach. <br /><br />Thank you Amanda for an insipirational blog!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-84718493202213183312012-04-24T19:19:31.176-07:002012-04-24T19:19:31.176-07:00The week following my husbands death I took the ca...The week following my husbands death I took the camera in the yard every morning. I often couldn't sleep for more than a few hours and I would wait for the sunrise so I could go in the yard to photograph anything.<br />I said it held me to the ground when I was certain I couldn't hold myself there. <br />As you said - it may be "uncommon therapy" but I found the world viewed through the lens of my camera - made it seem possible that life was still worth living.<br />15 months later, I know it is.<br />Thank you for the reminder that there are many ways to move forward.<br />Beautiful picture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-63383254819456330122012-04-24T17:58:51.993-07:002012-04-24T17:58:51.993-07:00What a beautiful pic.
