Hey, @stevenwood.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I suppose it happens to all of us at some point, but that doesn't make it any easier going through it.
And yes, family first, always. STEEM seems to be resilient enough so far, in spite of us sometimes, to keep on going even if we have to step away for awhile.
re: everywhere
I laughed when I read this. It made my day. I've seen better times, engagement-wise, but then, I guess it depends on what the norm is. For some, I'm everywhere, to others, I'm dogging it, and the reality is probably somewhere bouncing between the two. :)
And in reality, I owe most of anything I manage to do to the Curation and Engagement Leagues ran by @abh12345. They are why I'm encouraged to get out as far as I can, even if it's in my best interest to do so anyway.
Without them, I'm pretty sure I would have left before now. Maybe come back to see what had changed, but I wouldn't have stuck it out this long doing what I do every day.
I appreciate the very kind words, though. They're very encouraging and make me want to do more. :)
I hope things have quieted down for you and that you can have more time here if you so choose.
