True. What had concerned me has been seeing some who I value highly feeling discouraged. I wish they could know the importance their gestures have had on not only myself, but on others. Thanks for weighing in before bed, and thank you for being one of the foundations here for a strong community. I appreciate your vision and that you have the heart to be a leader.

OK now I have a post topic...swear they are everywhere. But to keep it simple the longer you are in a place the more issues you tend to be able to spot. I can tell you every creak, crack, and bit of differed maintenance in my home. But others walk in and love it because it's a old home which has so much character vs the new cookie cutter homes.
It's really no different here on steemit. I see the issues, but I also choose to focus on the good that is happening here. You look at the amazing response to help @briancourteau raise money for his meds and you know that there is something happening here that is big and powerful. The world needs to focus more on the positive things and way less on the negative. There are always going to be both in the world, what we see is all about where you shine the spotlight.
That humbled me. It really puts it all into perspective. People worrying about getting x amount in upvotes while people are worried about medications and pain and how much more they can take. It helped melt some of the cynicism that has built in my heart during my life seeing how the community rallies around those in need.
