Life Is Like a Camera

I came across this quote yesterday:

Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important. Capture the good times. Develop from the negatives and if things don’t turn out – just take another shot.
—Ziad K. Abdelnour

He also wrote,

I tried to be normal once… worst two minutes of my life.

That resonates too.

    Excellent, excellent, excellent! I’m copying this for my refrigerator (or maybe even print it out & frame it)

  2. love the 2nd quote…

    just about every time I’ve tried that out…someone has commented “you’ve doing it all wrong” and when I question it they say “I explained it to you, already”

    of course in certain circumstances, I have winged that “normal thing”

      πŸ˜€ It reminds me of Andy’s advice to Kaitlin. When people give you advice that doesn’t fit, thank them politely and do what you were going to do anyway.

    That second quote is very funny. Sounds like my Friday Funnies. And I love your photo today.

    • Jean says:

      Yes, I was searching for a picture of a camera, but I never dreamed I would find something like this photo. It made my day.

    You always find the best words to quote!!!

    That muddy pup could have been Lightning in his younger years:)

    Oh, I so love both of these!

  7. Ginny Hartzler says:

    I love the first quote. And the photo is priceless! The dog must be standing so still and so tall, not moving a muscle. I hope he got lots of treats!

    • Jean says:

      I agree about that photo, as I said above I was looking for a good photo of a camera to illustrate the quote. I never expected to find something like this one. It’s light-hearted and is perfect.

  8. Ann Thompson says:

    Love both these quotes. So true.

  9. Madsnapper says:

    I love love love love love that photo! I also wish I could sit on the ground like that! And that last quote is me! Me! Me! I have never had a normal day in my life

  10. nick says:

    I don’t think life is like a camera. Life is far more complex than that. Life is more like the weather, constantly shifting and changing and defying our forecasts and expectations.

    But I do agree with the second quote – trying to be “normal” can be pretty stultifying.
