This is something I figured out long ago. I know it to be true.
The problem with me is that I go through long periods without tending the sails at all.
I'm getting better. The last five years of my life have seen more positive change than ever before, but I have a long way to go.
This is another reason I'm thankful for Steem. It gives me hope. I am more excited about Steem than I have been about anything in years. And that excitement is spreading to other aspects of my life.
The hope I have felt since I started here has changed how I think of things. I am more positive.
In truth it couldn't have happened at a better time. With the recent death of my mother I was in a dark place. In truth I still very much am. Without the hope and focus that Steem has given me I don't know where I would be.
I see people who are working on something great.
I see a light at the end of the tunnel.
I have a reason to keep tending the sails.
Thanks for the post.
Keep the faith.
Keep Steeming!
