For some reason that I still do not understand I had an aversion to getting m y picture taken when I was young.  I don't believe that I have fully gotten over that to this day.  But I have had some pictures that turned out okay and I have learned to appreciate the memories of times and events that can return when a picture is seen.  I have had very few pictures of me that I liked, but as I said, I overlook that when the event has such a positive memory.  I owe thanks to many of you who have taken and posted family pictures throughout the years, and much more recently.  Seems like one of the advantages of this new techno-geek age is the proliferation of photographers and photographs.  The ones that I just looked at were from yesterday and were posted by Cyndi, the day before by Cicily and before that, Shelli.  Others have posted pictures of family and family events too, and all are special reminders for me. It seems that there is so much of that that it might become old, but it doesn't.  And as much as I still find the pictures of me somewhat disturbing I am learning to look past that and appreciate and remember how I felt when the picture was taken.  That is always a positive thing.  And I know that there will be many, many more pictures to come in our future.  Thank heaven for our techno-geek photographers who are documenting our lives for us.  Keep it up!
