It's a new month today, with lots of challenges I've scaled through in time past I can't but say am thankful to God for giving me this one life to live.

Am a farmer from Nigeria, I've faced so many hurdles in the farm, I remembered when I have a farm infestation on my cucumbers, very tiny black insect swarm my farm, wiping the harvest off my very eyes, I wanted to cry, but I man up like they always say and forged ahead
into the new year with debt from the previous harvest, the draught came and go and my irrigation savaged the whole thing, I was able to boost the plants back to life, in a month time, the land was green. But that wasn't all, it was just the beginning, I was sitting in the farm one day when cattle rearers (herdsmen) came for my farm, eating more than 80% of everything they could lay there hands on, I broke down that day in tears, investment gone, welcome to more debt.

Since then, I've changed farm location and started anew. And am forever thankful to God for giving me this strength to carry on.

In January I was told of Steemit, and signed up after some persuasion, the journey wasn't pleasant from the beginning but thanks to communities that bear me till I grew up to gather some good upvote, names #steemnaira and #i-rise community. They've been so helpful, my success so far here is due to them. Am forever grateful to this people.

With a good number of us leaning on Steemit for a daily living, the HardFork wasn't a pleasant thing though it was for a greater good of all.

Am so grateful that things are back to normal state and we all could start earning. Am so thankful to the Steemit teams and witness, especially those on discord calming us all down and telling us it's going to be OK, carrying us along the whole thing, am thankful to you all.

And finally to the almighty man up there overseeing the affairs of all mankind. Am thankful. Am grateful, thanks.
