I was a brave little trooper. By actively looking for beautiful scenes to photograph, I've found myself focusing more acutely on the good life has to offer. Sharing my scrapbook pages has brought my grandmother and me closer. I wrote back to my e-mail correspondent to point out that I can't remember whether Einstein or Helen Keller had children. Mother Teresa didn't, I'm sure.
Children are but one measure of a life.
There are many, many other ways to make contributions. This is a great month to celebrate our Scrapbook Declaration of Independence. I scrapbook for my family, but I also do it for myself. Copyright Joanna Slan, 2001.
