I take the time to post these pictures because I believe others enjoy seeing them as well. I've had numerous requests over the years for me to keep this kind of effort up. It takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour per ONE post, on average for me to do this. This was the reason I was never good at this in the past. It used to take longer. I really like this new forum because the format allows me to share more than just a picture with you, but it still takes me quite awhile. Though, I've got it streamlined down pretty well now and the only hard part really is picking out which pictures to use.
The pictures I put out here reside on my computer. I can view them any time I want. I put them out here so that everyone else can have a chance to share in the lives of our family. That, and I enjoy doing it. However, it would seem fruitless if the only person viewing them is myself.
I'm not fishing for compliments. I don't need compliments or accolades. I do however enjoy encouraging words, or at least acknowledgement that you took a moment to check out the pictures, and that you enjoyed them. So, if they make your day a little brighter, let us know. It keeps me feeling like the hour spent preparing the post was worth my time.
With Love,
Brad
