Nostalgia

I'm a nostalgia kind o' guy. C.S. Lewis pointed out that the reason we are so interested in change over time, why we say things like, "my look at how you've grown" and why we are impressed as we compare events and circumstances of today with events and circumstances of yesterday, is because we are not created to live IN time. Our living IN time here on earth is a temporary condition. Fish, who are created to live IN water, are not impressed by the water - they just live... in it.

All that as a preface to a comparison of the photos below - one from Bazenlilly's blog and one from the ol' family albums. DVD's and 8 tracks mark the difference (and passage of time) but look at this: Carson 2006, Mama 1978. My, how things change - and don't change.

Is it proper to say that one "loves" nostalgia, or should I just stick with someone IS nostalgic? Anyway, however you properly say the characteristic of the noun, that is one of the best things I inherited from you!
