Photography is a very brain influenced activity. From the decisions you make that go into creating your images, to the emotional response your photos can invoke, great imagery begins and ends in the mind, and it utilizes both left and right brain components.

And at the hospital again... Woke up thinking it’s morning, but it was only 2 AM. This is starting to become a familiar place. Wifey had to drop me off at the ER because of abdominal pain that just wouldn’t subside. So they did an operation removing my gallbladder. Should be discharged later on today.
 
It’s interesting how the blood issue comes to the play even with low-risk procedures. Have to be ready to defend one’s beliefs. Anaesthesiologist wanted to hear my own reasoning as to why I didn’t accept blood transfusions. Not something I was exactly ready for all morphined up. And then the legalese Americano, signing waivers from left to right.
 
Now here’s for hoping for insurance coverage of the surgery. Can’t really foot a 50k bill 🙈 (= ‘Murica)

So to catch everyone up, David and I were married on 29th March. It was, basically us two, David's parents and two friends at the registry office. Then we had a Zoom talk and get together. It was incredibly nice. I might post some pics soon. Thank you all who showed concern and kept us in your prayers. 

Received a UPS package last night. In it was a small ring size jewel box with a message card attached. Opened the jewel box and found a brand new baby pacifier?
Attached card from our grandson and wife saying, “We wanted to make sure we have a spare when we come to visit in the Spring.”
This will be our first great-grand-child.
I got on Amazon and sent them a jar of dill pickles 

Norma Clutter and I went down to Seaside, Oregon for service. Met up with Joe and his wife and my local BFF Samme. They took us down to Cannon Beach where we did informal. I think  we placed between 5-6 tracts, Joe had a great talk with one fella. So fun to show Norma all over my area. She has been taking a mountain of pictures, she's got some beautiful ones. Even got a close-up of skunk cabbage plants! Told her she'd have to ride in the back of the truck if she fell on one!

First day of my new NEW job. So I made the decision to sacrifice a career opportunity for a simplified life.. I start in about an hour. Already spent the morning jogging through the forest in the morning sun, discovered two deer, a robin, a wren, a jay and hundreds of other birds. Loving life today. Already feel like this decision has been blessed.
