A Lesson I Don’t Want to Learn

So…my camera broke yesterday. It was sad. Turns out, it doesn’t end so well if I fall directly on it. It does still take pictures but the view screen is busted. Which means I have to hold the camera up to my face to take a picture. This isn’t necessarily a hardship but it’s definitely not as convenient. Plus, without the screen it’s almost impossible to change the settings and that’s a pain. But I guess I know what to ask for for my birthday. And Christmas. And my birthday next year.

I’d love to upgrade to a DSLR and have been wanting to for some time. I’d do it in a heartbeat if they weren’t so expensive but it looks like I’ll be stuck with a busted-up point-and-shooter for a little longer.

In the end though, it’s just a thing. And while things are nice to have and they can make our life easier and more enjoyable, they are not what our life consists of. I guess this is a lesson I need to keep learning.

I was able to use my camera last night to take some pictures out on the boat while Peter and his dad fished.
