Don't know where or when I originally heard this, but it is apropos
When my time comes, I hope that it can be said that I died at a very young
age, after a long, long life...

how you live the time allotted to you. We who have chosen the way
of Olympus definitely went for quality. We sip the best, and there's
no finer company than that which we do keep.
So quit fretting about the LCDs in that OM-4ti, or the dearth
of circuits to resuscitate that OM-2s, and savor the moment. Life
is good...

It's like the old half glass of water perception, Doris. Some see it half
empty. Others see it half full.
Doris is right, Olympians and Zuikites. Life is good. Savor it. Use your OM
gear. Don't let concerns about when/if it might fail diminish your enjoyment
of it in the present. Go. Take pictures. Photograph beauty. Preserve truth.
Capture sights, events, people in time. Whatever you do, take your best
shot.
Make the one tomorrow better than the one today. That's what photography is
all about. And just be thankful that (for now) you have those marvelous
little Olympus/Zuiko tools to do it with.
