Thank you for your zoomed out perspective @paulag
I feel I could use some zooming out / some distance myself. An upcoming trip to The Netherlands might help. It's easy to start wearing blinders, when we're so involved in something for a long, long time.
Nice to hear that things looks hopeful / positive from out there though ;>)
a trip away is always good. Enjoy it and yea plug out for a few days from steem and just look in without being involved :-)
