Thanks @mineopoly! I love it and grateful I can participate. But, truly, it’s scalable so ANYONE can compete! Even you ;)

Side note: I consciously chose to abandon the 100 Days of Poetry Challenge :( I enjoyed it. I grew from it, but I couldn’t keep up. It was stressing me out. So had to trim some stuff, and that got trimmed. How’s it going for you?

Do post what you like to post @coachjj. You don't have to do one hundred days of poetry. That is not creative if it doesn't fit you. I actually don't have time enough in a day to make two posts so if I make a post about something I will add a poem at the bottom. I don't know how I can do 90 more days of it. I am running into all kinds of strange poems. Life is busy and we are not our blog. The blog is just a small reflection of who we are. I am fighting against a lot just to be here and say a few words. I thought when I figured myself out and made a couple good friends and started posting then it would be easier but it never is easy. Now mineopoly has almost 500SP. I thought at this point I would be really happy to begin to post freely and find an audience. But some days I am forcing myself to post. The morning routine is very serious for me. I am tempted to check my cell phone or log into the computer before reading the Bible or doing any kind of exercise. I'm excited when I promote a post and a lot of people comment. If I don't promote a post on discord or upvote it with a bot then no one takes much notice. I kind of like that too sometimes. It is a way to keep posting and still have low stress. I guess what I am saying as once you get into a community in Steemit it really is not so easy to get out. It's not easy to stop posting and not easy just take a break.

Thanks for keeping up:)

@mineopoly

I totally relate to all of this. It’s kinda nice to know I’m not alone in this struggle. I just try to give myself grace. And to refocus what’s important right now. Keep priorities straight. And keep my connections here. When I feel disconnected to people on Steemit, my enthusiasm wanes. I’m thankful for you and your posts. Keep your morning routine first and let everything else fall into place.

Have a beautiful day :)

Thanks. First is first.
