Good morning 🌄 (here) @awmobbs. Welcome to the Steemisphere! You've done a very nice job here of introducing yourself.
While having no particular artistic talent, I can admire it in others. Loved the painting of your beloved dog! And your sense of adventure and the discipline to prepare to make the most it. They both should serve you well, as you begin on what I have referred to as my "journey" on the Steem blockchain.
Due to your being recognized by the @pifc community, you have been awarded an SBI (@steembasicincome) share. As a form of basic income, this will be with your account from now on, to reward your future posting efforts.
All the best to you!
