OT, things that really matter

that sucks. condolences @Brutus Buckeye and @Honestbuckeye

maybe i can bring a little cheer back. my son was in hospital last week with kawasaki disease. i'd never heard of it, but it can be quite serious if it goes untreated for to long. it effects the heart/coronary artery and can cause aneurysms. once diagnosed, it is relatively quick and easy to treat and i'm happy to say he's responding really well to the treatment. can't say how thankful i am for the dr catching on to it quickly. just read about another little boy not far from here and his dr's didn't catch on in time and he had to have a heart transplant. last week sucked, but it's so nice having him back home before christmas.

Sorry for your losses @Brutus Buckeye and @Honestbuckeye

I'm trying to learn how to "enjoy the moment".  So often, I find myself somewhere really nice and all I can think to do is take photos (often never viewed again).  

It sounds absurd, but it's not easy, for me.

I put my photos slide show on my computer screen saver 

then I see them randomly and remember back

I recall being in Hawaii at the Volcano NP and a bus load of Asians pulled up.  They all got off and took photos of everything, the bus, t he curb, everything, and they weren't to the actual tourist site yet (the tubes).  I don't mean to be critical of them, but it made me think about taking so many photos versus just taking it all in.  

I used to be better at this, but now I find if I let my mind go idle, I start rethinking too many things.
