It Is New!

It is time for me to confess, yes confess. New, what in the world is New? Since I last shared with you a bit about me, the new news is that I am still Mitch. Seems that no matter how hard I struggle to get on top, I always am in the middle. Do I think that is not good? No! Let me explain. Yes, in a couple of weeks I will be 65 years old. For some it may seem like a major event, but I don't feel that way. In fact, I am cherishing the new respect and appreciation of me that I seem to be getting these days. Then, I in all seriousness stop and pause for a moment, to think of many that don't make it to even 25, in living little more than hitting the 65 point. Let me share this, as a professional photographer I am often called on to record facts through the medium of photography of accidents and other happenings. Most often it is rewarding, but every now and again it is heart breaking. Yesterday, I was retained to photograph the after mess of a car fatality. Seems the young (19) year old boy went into a hydroplane where his car became positioned to be "T Boned" By another car. I am sure the boy never knew what hit him. For me I had the bride to be with me, where she was trying to share with me what had happened. Her whole life has forever been changed; she will never understand why this happened to her. An altered life, a gone life, was it meant to be? No one can ever know. So 65, vs. 19 more than twice the living. I am at peace and thankful that God has allowed me this opportunity to see 65 years.
