2YEARS...HOW TIME FLIES

First, @davemccoy, @simplymike, @abh12345 ...you all were my first group I found here, and truthfully a large reason why I stayed.🤗🤗🤗 THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUS HAVE DONE FOR ME.

Secondly, to all the friends and loved ones I have meet here, thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making my Steem experience such an amazing exhilarating fun ride. I love all my communities so much and all the great Steemians that are within as well.

LOOKING FORWARD

As much as I have enjoyed the last two years, I think I'm more excited about the years to come. Maybe it's just because I'm starting on the homestead and therefore have an extremely happy outlook and look forward to posting all my fun(and hard) times to come.

But I also think it's due in part to the fact that I will meet even more great people here. I've already met so many and as I dive into the homesteaders life, I'm already finding new treasures...like @eco-alex. He is the driver of the ecotrain, an awesome community of homesteaders and naturalists. Stop in and check them out if you haven't yet!

Of course there's all the craziness going on with the witnesses battling with @justinsunsteemit and that has made the Steem chain center of attention for so many......But I've noticed a much greater difference since he bought Steemit...

WE HAVE AN ACTIVE COMMUNITY AGAIN

Since it's obvious I've been here two years, I'll state something that maybe isn't so obvious~~As much as I LOVE #NEWSTEEM (and the tribes), we still didn't have that "insane community" that we had the first year I was here. However with Justin's arrival, our community is back in full swing.

THANK YOU COMMUNITY AND JUSTIN(yeah and Ned too)!!!

I like to believe the only negatives in life are the things you believe to be negative...I also believe everything happens for a reason.

That being said, I have removed my proxy to @cadawg, and I am currently not voting any witnesses. I have faith in each member of our community and regardless of how everything shakes out one thing is certain...

WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE OUR COMMUNITY

And I stick to that as the simple main reason I'm looking forward to the years to come. Not the money, not Steem or Steemit, not what chain it's on or what the reward token's called, it's not for the witnesses or the Justin Suns of the world...

IT'S BECAUSE I LOVE MY FRIENDS AND OUR COMMUNITIES AND KNOW WE WILL GROW EVERY DAY!!!

I love every member of our community, as we each have something to add to it...even if your "the bad guy" that is the driving force of reinvigorating the entire chain. We all have something to add and I love each of you for the little piece you add because....

THIS COMMUNITY WOULDN'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU!!!
