What's On My Nightstand...

On my nightstand are a lot of books that I don't necessarily read but they bring me comfort just knowing they are there. I have my battery clock that has served me well. I don't like the digital ones. There is some homemade lotion I'm almost out of and another bottle to use when it is finally all gone     ( someone I know made the lotion and a friend gave it to me). Down in the cloth basket are recipe books and books I am currently looking at. And the two little baskets hold "stuff" like my TV remote, a glasses case etc. I have some herb magazines I'm hoping to get too soon and a couple of pictures that just make me smile. On the far left there is a teddy bear my oldest son gave me one Christmas and it was just so cute I keep him close by to remind me of "love."

This is a cooperative blog post I am doing bi-weekly with a friend. Here is her post... Enjoy!

Instant Gratification...

We live in a digital world where everything we need or want to know is at our fingertips. Who doesn't love instant gratification! Lately my daughter has taken to the old film camera's I have around the house. She liked the idea that you would take a set of pictures and it would be a total surprise when they were developed. Plus I think when you take pictures with a film camera, you have to rely on instinct because you can't look at what you just shot. The digital world has its advantages but there is something to be said for the old fashion way of life. Take what you like and leave the rest...
