And here I thought it was a dog! Perspective is everything. I would never have guessed that your dog was standing on a thatched roof. As they say position is key. It's always the small things, isn't it?

I agree that we need to love what we are doing here otherwise what's the point?

I really do like it here a lot, but I can understand your thoughts on figuring out what was important. I do love the interaction within the blog and I find more enjoyment out of that then the upvote. Not that I don't enjoy the money, but if I had to choose which I would rather have oh, I think I would take the interaction. Truly, I'm tap dancing and singing at the same time here on steemit and barely breaking a dollar on a lot of posts. So I'll take the interaction.

I, for one am so happy to see you back. You bring writing that gives you cause to think and I truly appreciate it and you. Welcome back!
