Instead, I decided to do what usually cheers me up on days like this - look through my thousands (more like hundreds of thousands) of family photos. This is always a pick-me-up :)
I came across my Christmas 2004 album - most photos have been taken by my sister on her little digital camera. I didn't own one at that time and was still using my Minolta SLR as you will see in one photo...

Lovely memories. Looking through my photo albums always bring a smile to my face. Most of the photos in them were taken on a Minolta SLR too.
That was a good idea to look at the pictures. I have hundreds and hundreds of photos that need to be put into albums - that was going to be my first project when I retired - 3 years ago. They're still sitting around the house - I did get a few sorted the first year. Great pictures!
It's good you have so many photos Liz and that they hold many good memories too. Hope you're feeling better....
Thanks ladies! My photos are something I treasure greatly - I often find them very therapeutic when I am feeling down. They provide the opportunity to reminisce, to laugh, and often trigger memories of temporarily forgotten experiences from long ago.
@Karen, I am much better thank you. My heart is a constant problem and has proven very difficult to stabilise. I just take a day at a time and make the most of the good days! :)
