This mudball has completed one revolution around that fireball that we orbit
Do you know what that means?
It's time for a celebration because we are sun worshipping meat-sacks with great imagination and really old ways of keeping track of time. Regardless, the day has come and now we must party like tomorrow will never come. It has been a wild ride and this day marks Day 365 on Steemit, which is an accomplishment for me.
TIME TO GIVE THANKS
I know the struggle is real out there. I know I could not have made it this far without those of you who have always seemed to be there to support and encourage me. This shit isn't easy without good people surrounding you and I know that without any shred of doubt in my mind.
My journey here would not have lasted long without guidance, your patience, and all of your support. I know this seems a bit mushy and heartfelt but I truly mean it. YOU ALL made this year an enjoyable one for me. THANKS10
Keep Dreamin'n'Steemin'

Dont Worry!
This is not where I stop to complain about the pitfalls of Steemit, bitch and moan about not earning as much as others, and not whining about the issues that plague social media. This isn't where I start the pity-party and beg for votes, nor is it a time for wasting on nonsense that doesn't matter.
What matters to me? I'm alive, I'm enjoying my time as best as I can, I have friends that I enjoy sharing that time with and STEEMIT affords me a place to do those things.
Steemit is where I pour my mind into words - whether anyone reads them or not. Of course, I appreciate those of you who share your valuable time with me and make this MUCH more enjoyable than any other social media outlet.
It is an outlet that I am thankful for and no matter how bad my day gets I am ever grateful just to have somewhere to have a little fun, shoot the shit with some great people, and enjoy all the things that only Steemit has that I cannot get from other outlets. Facebook blows if you ask me (which you did not) so as bad as some people make this place out to be - it is still better than FB to me!
ALMOST A DECADE WITHOUT FB FOR ME - FB FREE IS THE WAY TO BE!
I've Got Big Plans For My Fellow Fish in This Steemit Sea!
Thanks for a good year and hopefully many more moons to come for @grow-pro here on Steemit. I appreciate all of you and remember to always be dreamin' and keep on Steemin'.
I'm not sure what to make of this place still. Maybe something better will be on EOS. Who knows.

All social environments suck in their own ways. I'm not sure there is a place, real or virtual, where billions of humans can exist and not have problems. EOS is struggling with their own problems right from the start, so it's hard to say if there can be one great social platform for people like us.
If we can't even get people from FB, the greatest violator of rights known to man, to go to a place where activity can earn you money - what other incentive is there for that totem of moron? π
The problem is too many damn people, not enough humanity.

It's great to have you here. I'm trying to imagine what Steemit will be like in another year. I hope to see many millions by then :)

Likewise! You were one of the first people I met here on Steemit and you're a great asset to this community. Always helping us minnows - swimming upstream is tough without a little help!
Thanks, @steevc and I hope we have blossomed into a booming platform in a year from now π
I know of some really exciting things that might just get us there, so let's hope the stars align!!

Thanks, brother!! Yea man I had a little over 1k and started spreading it around a bit more; delegating and shifting some to @grow-bot now. It's been a wild year and the SP adds up after a while π
I've used some to expand the garden a bit and this year I'll be able to feed more happy locals. All about enjoying what we do and the rewards a just byproducts..but..you already know that! Enjoy your travels, as I know you will be traveling somewhere and also your Steemit journey as well!
It's all of you that make this place worth sticking around. π―π» Cheers to that!

1 year is a milestone definitely! At this stage of Steemit those who lasted a year are definitely the long term supporters of the platform. Good stuff @grow-pro and keep it up, can't wait to see what you have planned for the future.

I agree, it takes determination and some resilience to sustain the STEEMIT JOURNEY but...sometimes... what is easy ain't worth doing. π
I appreciate the support and your time, @cheech-oz, thank you! π»
