Sweet Nostalgia

I began playing around with my newer photos by making them look like vintage photos.

This got me thinking about why I love the look of aged and worn items and the word "nostalgia" presented itself to me.

(click to enlarge)

The word nostalgia was originated from the Greek word nostos meaning return home.

The official definition of the word nostalgia seems to have a negative connotation to it by referring to it as “a bittersweet longing of the past” or “homesickness”.

I have sweetened the definition to suit my own taste with my newest design.

As we age (yes, it is inevitable) it seems to me the memories we have of our precious moments from the past become sweeter with each passing year.

Simple glimpses of our past intertwined with the essence of “now” defines who we are.

This petal from Heaven that softly lands on you today is to let you know your nostalgia is as sweet as "Tupelo Honey" and gets sweeter every day single day.

We must cherish it.

A Bit of Heaven

This world was made in a moment of peace,

Planned by a master hand;

A bit of heaven, a bit of sea,

A bit of smiling land,

A ribbon of golden sunlight,

A filtered bit of moon's ray,

A trembling night of sheer delight,

A glorious, wonderful day.

                 - G. Manners (The Soul, 1918)
