1976

I got a box of goodies from my Mom a while back. In the bottom of the box was "A Year in Pictures" magazine from the year 1976. I was looking at this yesterday and realized...everything that I worry about in the world today, was going on in 1976 too. I was 10 yrs old that year. I remember vacations to the beach and skiing with my family, riding my bike with my friends and being happy and free. I got to thinking, maybe I worry so much about the world today because I am older. There is always going to be tragedy...but one thing is for sure...there is always going to be God as well. So, I started to create a simple collage of the thoughts and feelings I was having. And the words kept ringing in my head....Do not be afraid...Live your life...I am here.

Enjoy!
