Writing impact challenge >< Exactly Fifty for Fifty in Five Hundred

When I first arrived here on steemit.com I just kind of felt a need to tip-toe around. The sequence of events that brought me here has been well documented before in my Daily Dose, but in short; my vision was to leave my thoughts for my future grand children. Seldom would my blog be considered a masterpiece in the use of the English language, but I have been known to captivate a few people with my pearls of wisdom.

After a week of being invisible on here I decided to venture out, the silence was deafening that first week. I understood what loneliness was like here, it wasn’t serenity by any means. I felt like a dandelion in a plush green lawn, I began to question if I belonged here. The dandelion flower doesn’t last long; it ends up eventually looking like a ball of cotton only to be displaced by the wind. No one should have to feel the ache I was experiencing, so I decided to help spread some joy; I beat feet over to the introduceyourself area and started greeting folks there.

My goal was to reach out to five newbies each time that I came on steemit. If I could at least put a smile on a person’s face with a good comment and an up vote it may help them realize their dreams. The interests of the newbies varied widely from music to birds and trees and dirt. I have a hard time with birds; I can barely distinguish a swan from the bluebirds. With music, I don’t know rhythm from beet, but I was willing to listen each time I hit the play button on Dsound. The homesteaders are a great folks, a strong community of like minded people who breathe country air and grow their own food. Imagine the feeling of joy to build your own shelter and to plant and harvest your own food. Pause and think how it would be to have your own cow and be able to have fresh milk when you are thirsty or put it in your coffee instead of artificial creamer, is that coolness or what?

I touch on a lot of different subjects with my Daily Dose, I wouldn’t say that I heal anyone’s problems, but you just never know. I do have a favorite subject, and as the old saying goes,” where there is smoke, there’s fire”, so each 15th of the month I focus my attention to writing a Texas BBQ review. I bring you the hidden little places for great BBQ. The taste of slow smoked Texas BBQ is nothing to whisper about; I shout it out in my “Will Eat BBQ 4 U” reviews.

If you like what I have written here come visit me at my blog @sultnpapper , I’ve also been known to ride the train rails over at @thesteemengine in their discord channel “the lounge car”, so drop in and pay me a visit at either place.
