My Three Months Journey On SteemIt, Exactly!

I joined SteemIt on April 2nd, 2017 when friends from different websites introduced it to me. I went on it. Didn't know what to do with it. Didn't understand the payout system. Had no idea what cryptocurrency is, (still don't). So I let it sat! Occasionally, I checked out the links that my friends shared on social media sites! That's that...My account sits!

After months of stressful events in my family, mainly with my 92 years old mother, I needed a way to get lost, immerse myself in something else totally different, and occupy my mind with new learning opportunities.

I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE

1. LENA-September 18th, 2017, with that desires, I took it up in a chat with dear sweet @lenavegansliving! She has been the constant supporter to me! I have to credit her for the #fruitandveggiesmonday contest, which I was honored with some bonus wins. They gave me mental boosts!

2. JULIAN @juliank-I can only guess that this is his first name and apologize if it is wrong! I entered my first #goldenhourphotography in the weekly contest. Won! And he has been my only DAILY SUPPORTER since, and my deepest heartfelt thanks goes out to @juliank. This, I am so grateful for, because without even a tiny number of cents/pennies/ or whatever, it is very discouraging to post.

3. CABE LINDSAY @cabelindsay and his #gratitudejournal contest! It was an amazing feeling to realize that my post or whatever I wrote got read, and awarded.

4. JARO @gamer00 by chance, he stopped by my despair post, gave a high upvote and left an encouraging comment. That, alone recharged me and he didn't know it. This was my first time experience the generosity of a total stranger on SteemIt without entering any contests.

5. KAREN @karenmckersie and her #popcontest gave me a huge boost when I entered my posts, Frost Bite and Pitt Bull posts. The boosts made my wallet looked better, and also rekindled my love for writing.

6. BECCA @beccadeals had a contest #creativemindchallenge and it was perfect for me! I love putting my photos into a collage since I tended to take 100 of shots just to get to that ONE. Nature Collage was meant for me, and was rewarded with my effort.

7. @paradise-found hosts the #gratefulvibes challenge and he actually FOUND me and gave me a bit of his PARADISE so generously, when I thought I posted for #gratitudejournal. I am touched!

8. My appreciation and gratefulness also go to #busy.org and #SteemUSA for all their upvotes! Without their support, my posts would be so sad to see.

9. Thank you to my friends @bloghound, @ninahaskin, @melinda010100, @dswigle, @oscarps, and @homeartpictures for being there whenever you can. However rare or few interactions that we have, I appreciate them all.

10. I have made some new friends as well, as I am learning and discovering what SteemIt platform is offering. The key thing is click! Meaning, your post or your comment must be just right to certain types of people for both sides to click to form relationship.

My three months journey was wonderful so far, and this is a perfect time to show #gratitude at year end! Thank you all for the connection, support, and boost! I will continue to work hard to get to where I want it to be!
