Living with my parents can be a real chore sometimes.

What I've been doing lately is going out on walks and taking my camera with me. It gets me away from my parents...and I get to do something I really enjoy.

I get lost in picture taking. It helps me to slow down and notice my surroundings. It has given me a new appreciation for insects. I still don’t like creepy crawlies, but dang they look neat through a viewfinder.

I know I’ll move out and be on my own eventually. I hate waiting…but….living with my parents gives me incentive to develop my photography skills. My living situation forces me to get into nature…and when I’m surrounded by nature, I get outside of my mind.



Chiy, I know you are recovering from surgery now, but when you are feeling better, get out of the house. Do some gardening…go for a walk…take pictures…maybe volunteer at an animal shelter…any positive thing you enjoy doing and really makes you feel good.

I hope you feel better soon.
