Some Musings And Some Sadness

Today I have been thinking about what I want to do.
I have been spending a lot of time with posting on Steemit and the financial return has been a little less than exciting. lol
Looking down the road of life.
I am thinking that I am not doing as I should.

But, I was also thinking that I am not alone.
Many of you that come to my blog.
Would also like to see better times and days.
And I am convinced that better days for us a just ahead.
I am looking for price excitement before the end of this year has passed.

It isn't that I don't have the time. At least for right now.
And I need the exercise in the sun too.

And I know with the price of Steem down now in dollar terms.
The pennies are not adding much to our hope for something a little better.
The flowers and color haven't changed though.
I do like finding something that is very pretty to look at.
It shows me what some people are willing to do to have a lovely place to live at.

So, as long as I am able to walk.
(And did you know that I am a rat?) lol
And some rats live to be 150 years old and longer.
In contrast to human years.
Some of you may know what I am referring to.

So, with that thought in mind.
I need to take a longer view of what we all will be doing here on Steemit.
Can you see me adding flowers such as this 100 years from now to Steemit? lol

Well now. Some of you may be thinking that Francis has been drinking some of the "kool-aid." Ha ha
And the truth is. Yes I have.
But not the kind that you may be thinking of. Ha
The kind that I have been drinking still lets me see and know beauty when I see it. lol

So you can see what I have been thinking.
With the little that I have in Steem Power.
I could delegate it to others to do the work for me.
And keep enough back to post on occasion.
It is at least tempting enough to look at the possibility anyway.
But, if I did choose that selection and commitment.
I likely would not be adding flower photos to posts such as this.

After I thought about it a little today.
I realized that I would be blue and maybe one or two of you might be too.
IMG_E4332.JPG

I know that it would break my heart to see some of you leave my blog.
So, it could be that one or two of you have an attachment to my work too.
IMG_4332.JPG

So, I want to close this post with a final "flower" offering to those who appreciate such beauty.
I don't know what I will be doing in the future.
But, for now. We have today.
So, we have something to be happy about.

Did you hear the news today?
Aretha Franklin has passed on to the other side.
That is so sad. She was a great singer.

We look for Steemit.
Steemit is always so close. Never far away for us.

Thank you

Oh that’s too bad about Aretha, she had such fantastic energy and it really felt that she loved to sing.
I have no good advice to impart to you about your conundrum related to staying or delegating.
I’m doing a combo at the moment because I also am tight for time in my life right now. ;)

This could be my last message to you...................................
Of any importance that is.
I was only alerting you of my thoughts and possible intentions.
I know what to do. I know what it takes.
I just don't have the heart for it though.
Simplicity is what I like. I am not an advertising Geek.
I don't want to become a searcher or researcher for what I already believe to be true.
I don't want to have to try to trick people into believing that my goal and motiviation is having the best.
And I am doing the best, and you must not miss my blog and upvote the very good content I give to you.
That is not me.
There are those that are gifted to knock it out of the park and are deserving of some attention.
That is not a great company of people.

I know what it takes to do well.
And I am not willing to spend the time and energy that it takes to do that.
I like me that way I am. A simple guy, trying to achieve some success with stealth and study.
The world is full of gifted and talented people.
My/our job is to find them. Groups or individuals that excel.

That is enough for you to know what I have decided. For the short term anyway.
I have the right to reconsider at a moments notice.
Thank you for all you have done for me and others.
I so appreciate it.

Francis

I am so sorry about the loss of your past and loved leader.
You take the time that you need to let your soul, mind, and body heal.
It takes it toll on us when we suffer loss.
Just know that I care and love you very much.
We all do.
We will soon see you be yourself once again at the time you choose.
With love and respect.

Francis

I always enjoy your posts...especially your flower posts. I hope that you continue to post.

Thank you
I get a little discouraged at times with what I have to do.
I spend many hours a day with cryptos and Steemit.
The rewards have been less than spectacular. Ha
But, let see what happens in the next few weeks.
I think we are all going to be pleasantly surprised.
It has to happen.

Francis

I enjoy posting and looking at other posts. I am really hoping that this takes off soon because I do enjoy it so much. It would be a win win if rewards could match or exceed the fun I have with posting and reading other posts.

Each of us has moments when we are sad )
But you can't think about the bad, Francis.
You have to believe in yourself no matter what.
And what you do pleases many.

You write answers many people.
Your photos and posts are loved here.
You can find in simple something unusual.
See the beauty of things in everyday ...

I wish you new achievements and well-being.

And I hope that you will not disappear and will
also full of energy and new creative solutions.
And your photos allow many to enjoy
the wonderful nature of your region.

Thank you for everything, @Francisk.

Because you cared enough to write.
I have been having second thoughts about what I should do or want to do.
Thank you

Francis

Wow excellent camera shot . excellent is rose flowers and i love it.
100% like and resteem

Great pictures.

Beautiful starting with outstanding landscape area and nice finishing with classy music @francisk. Middle of the post impressive with flowers.

Thank you
We wait for cryptos to start moving up again.
Then we should see better rewards for all of us.
It will happen. Long before this year is over I believe.

Francis

My heart is drawn to this when I see the dramatic scenery and opportunities. What a beautiful sight?

Thank you

Francis

I sure would miss taking a stroll with you, Francis. I always enjoy your posts and photography! Best of luck to you whatever you decide :)

Thank you for your kind words.
I appreciate it much.

Francis

so beautiful

There are so many unique fashionable flowers photo captures. Curious song also.

All we have, Francis, is each day. I am sad to see the passing of Athrea Franklin. She had the voice of an angel.

Thank you
