Good morning @simplymike! Before 🌄, "in here" doing what I can, before heading off to my "day job" ...
Before "hanging it up" last night, I upvoted your comment, but was too tired to do justice to any kind of reasonable response to it, given the investment of time you clearly put into it.
I really appreciate it!!
"... mainly because I’ve been recovering from surgery for the last couple of months ..."
Very sobering reminder of what some people are going through. I know in my life, I get frequent opportunities to say, "I don't write the script, for if I did, I can assure you it wouldn't be playing out like this ..." My hope for you, all things considered, is you are recovering well and, looking back, it will have all been "worth it."
We never know, going forward, why things happen the way that they do. We can only respond to it the best way possible and hope eventually to be able to answer “what that was all about?” as a “learning opportunity” for whatever is coming next …
Your last paragraph is perfect. New to being “online,” I have been blessed a little bit with this myself. A great example was the recent comment to one of my posts from @sniffnscurry. Very few words. Great impact …
There's "resteeming," then there's whatever we would call what @headchange’s post has inspired me to do - write my Reflections: Curation and Pollination post last night.
Resteeming has its place, no doubt. But it lacks, at least for me, the "personal touch" of simply being able to let your followers / supporters know what you found of value in what you are bringing to their attention. No way I can do it all the time, but elected to do it this time, given what this experience has represented for me.
All the best to you, for a bright new day!
[Psalm 118:24]
Thanks, @roleerob.
As with all things in life, I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to look back on these last 6 months (and those that are yet to come) and be thankful for this awesome learning experience. But that something that only comes afterwards, once you’re out of trouble and can see things in the right perspective again.
I completely agree on the resteeming feature. It would add a lot of value if there would be an Opportunity to add a short personal note to let readers know why you think a post was worth resteeming. Who knows, maybe we’ll get that extra feature somewhere along the way... :0)
