Curled up in the warmth of the wood stove, I spent many hours deleting over a thousand photos to make more available space. Now there is 3.24 GB free. I had taken over 7000 photos in the past twelve months, but there was lots of junk among them. I have a tendency to take three photos of each shot so there will always be a decent one. Plus, I didn't always have time to edit each day, so there were many that were blurry or boring. With the perspective of distance and time, it was easy to delete.
The photos let me relive the past year that has been mostly good, with underlying sadness. The loss of Glenn led us to rethink priorities and relationships. We are so very grateful for our many blessings: our good health and energy, beloved children who are happy, healthy, employed and insured, wonderful friends, lots of travel and a lovely home.
My digital albums are filled with pictures of our favorite pastimes and people: cross country meets, the MS musical, Glenn's funeral in Kentucky, Thanksgiving in NYC with our kids, reuniting with our New Jersey relatives, Christmas at Laurie's in Columbus, Christmas with our family here at home, February NYC trip, Bye Bye Birdie, Quest 2014, Hilton Head with Nancy, Scotland with Mary, gardening, swimming, picnics and long walks. One of these days, I have to select a couple and make canvas prints to hang in the living room.
