Good evening my Steemian friends!

05 May 2022, and I was filled with joy!
I reached my first 5,000 SP, and my 1st dolphin status.

15 July 2022, and I was overflowing with joy!
I reached my 2nd dolphin with 10,000 SP.

23 October, 2022 and I was ecstatic with joy!
I reached my 3rd dolphin, 15,000 SP.

24 February 2023, I am celebrating with joy!
I reached the goal I set myself when I rejoined Steemit, 20,000 SP and my 4th dolphin.

Then a couple of days ago, 14 June 2023, I was thrilled to the bone!
I reached 25,000 SP and with that, my 5th dolphin!

The whole week I was watching my Wallet as it was creeping closer to the mark of my next dolphin. Without having to do a power up I hit it exactly one year after our family dream, moving to the ocean, came true. What a day it was. BUT, I was told that I could only celebrate it today.

My day started early this morning with some work on Steemit. Thereafter, it was a rush to get finished and to church. After church, it was time to celebrate. Hubby took us to our favorite eating place, The Market where each one of us got to choose a dish to celebrate.

• My stepson chose a rump steak to celebrate our one year at the coast.
• My husband chose a lemon and herb chicken to celebrate Father’s Day.
• I chose oxtail with a red wine sauce to celebrate 5 dolphins.

A better day of three celebrations we could not have asked for. It was also a joyful moment for me as after nearly two weeks I was feeling better and could leave the house and make my public appearance again.

To close this special day I did my weekly power up with pride tonight!

Best wishes to all of you striving for that first or next dolphin. With hard work and perseverance, it can be done. As I always say in my comments to Steemians, keep on posting, keep on voting, keep on commenting, and keep on powering up!

Just now I will be putting my head on my pillow with not only a big smile on my face but also with a huge THANK YOU!

Thank you to the team and to each one of you for believing in me, for keeping me entertained, and for your continuous support. Without you, my celebration of my 5th dolphin would not have been possible.
