TEN THINGS :
I love that for most of my adult life I've wanted to write, to express myself but running a small business and raising a family came first. Now it's my turn to take care of myself. I write!! Yahoo!
I love that I am having a great time meeting new people and developing actual friendships and meaningful relationships. This was really unexpected.
There is the potential for me to actually thrive here on Steemit. Due to a decades long illness I've got no retirement income other than social security and Steemit offers an opportunity to create a far better reality.
I'm having fun. I'm starting to joke around and have a sense of humor. I love that I can do that.
I have family members here on Steemit. My daughter @littlescribe is already here and doing well and now another daughter, perhaps my son and my girlfriend are coming on board. What a hoot!
I get to express myself in ways I never have. Steemit gives me the opportunity to be whole and authentic in ways I've not been able to do in my regular work and life. I suppose this one thing is the thing I love the most. It is so validating and encouraging.
Today I went to the bank and the teller asked me, "What is your profession?" I was able to say, "I'm a writer." That to me is nothing less than a miracle.
I think I have valuable, perhaps even profound things I want to share and that will lift and sustain others. I am deeply grateful for that.
I have the opportunity to lift and sustain and serve others. I really treasure that. As my health improves I will be able to do more. What a wonderful thing for me. It's been a long time.
The world is crazy. There are ominous storm clouds on the near horizon. I love that here on Steemit I might be able to counter balance the darkness. I've always said that in times of Darkness I want to be the LIght. Here I can do that.
Writing here on Steemit requires me to use my brain. As a former painting contractor that was not much of a necessity. I love that I can stretch and reach and use my mind again.
I love that I have something I can do for the rest of my life, that I have goals I can achieve, that I have something that will get better and better and better.
I love that I have so many friends that I have not met yet. Incredible.
I love that with a simple comment, an upvote, a bit of advice I can lift another.
I love that here I can practice the new paradigm of a more enlightened society: Cooperative Abundance.
O.K. Thats all for now. Thanks for the opportunity to share. Took me about 15 minutes, but then again I had five more points! Blessings.
