Eight days ago I wrote a story about my battle with mice in the house. I guess some might have thought I seemed a little violent regarding sharing my home with rodents. It spun into the absolute best contest I have ever done! Hands down.
I've been feeling grumpy about some activities on SteemIt, but the entries into this contest lifted my mood, my spirit, impressed me and was unlike anything else I have done.
I have to admit usually when I do contests I end up feeling disappointed in the results.
In this case I was totally impressed!!!! So many great entries, and made me question every judgement I made with selecting the winners and wished I had so much more to give!
Special thanks to all who entered and to @mikepm74 who contributed to the awards!
Please make the contest worthwhile by checking out those who entered.
Please ^ go there and check out the entries, they were truly fabulous!
And with no further distractions...
The WINNER is: @venessahampton 10 SBD

I already commented on this, but I'm going to comment again. I was just scrolling through my posts trying to make sure I didn't miss anything since I'm out of steemify for a bit, but I noticed something...
...and I just wanted to thank you publicly for it because I don't want your good deed to go unnoticed! (omg, unless you wanted it to go unnoticed and now I'm pointing it out like an idiot...feel free to tell me to delete this comment).
I just wanted to say thank you so so much for your extra upvote on my entry. I know I turned it in kinda last minute for you to see but man, that made me feel really good that you appreciated it and liked it and it was super unexpected and kind and i'm just so grateful!
You have a good heart and I'm really touched by your kindness <3 Thank you!!!!!

Look at the smiles in the faces of the winners, all because of you,@whatsup...God will bless you real good, more sbd and sp fall on your wallet...what you did, is what I call "giving people the sense of belonging", it doesnt matter the winner but the uniting of the steemit spirit, making it a real community...thanks once more.
