Light at the End of the Tunnel

HELLO!

The image you see is a long, huge pipe that I came across in an abandoned training field. It was obvious by the other objects, that people trained by squeezing through this narrow space. I squatted down, looked through it and had to take the photo because what I saw at the other end was bright, inspiring, welcoming light.

In my last blog I wrote that supporting the people who are following me was a priority for me at this point and I committed to visiting all 109 followers and commenting, liking, and favoring mostly images that did not have much activity.

Being the driver that I am...I drove myself crazy and determined that I needed to do it in a short time. I felt like I was in a marathon training. I did not realize how many 109 followers really are in number. I stayed up late, I got up early. I spent an enormous amount of time on FAA. But I thank you all for following me.

Finally, I saw the light at the end of the tunnel and earlier today, I finished all 109! Whew!


I learned so much:

1.) I could not just visit and comment and like and favorite. I got lost in each site and moved through the galleries and found myself pondering, savoring, enjoying everyone's work.

2.) Many of my followers must be famous because they have so many comments, likes, favorites, I had a hard time finding some with little activity!

3.) Other followers had little activity and I found myself wanting to email and say, "Enter contests, groups, support others, and let's get you going!"
No, I did not do that; but I probably liked more than I did in others.

4.) I learned that in each and every image that is listed on FAA, someone saw something unique, interesting, beautiful, heart stopping in each one and had to share it with others.

5.) The talent and creativity in my followers is incredible!

6.) I am glad I did this and may or may not go to this extent again; although since printing everyone's Avatar and city, I am now familiar with their work and when voting in contests, it is interesting at how I can recognize this one or that one.

7.) As I said before, when we are supported, it renews energy that gets creativity going and that is what is within us that is pouring forth, right? It is much more productive and satisfying to create with a smile and thankfulness than for any other reason that I can think of, do you agree?

8.) I am ready to move on to my next supportive element...just don't know what it is yet....but when I do....I will remember that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
