For some strange reason I think a comment that I made a few days or maybe a week ago may have helped in some way, just can't put my finger on it.

Oh well.

I have mentioned before that I came to steemit for some selfish reasons, none of which involved financial gain. It's a good thing it didn't otherwise I may have flown the coup long before now, except for one reason.

My sole purpose of coming here was to store some thoughts, the block chain being supposedly permanent looked exactly like what I was looking for as a depository and the price was right, free.

Then, it happened, I started poking around the steemit platform and I started meeting people. My reason for coming never changed and now I had a reason to stay. I have met some amazing people from all over the world that I now consider as good friends.

Seeing so many people come and go in the ten and half months here has proven to me that those people who have gone never realized that steem, the currency, isn't what is valuable here; it is the people.

I never considered my self to be a writer or blogger and still don't. I am just a man that is getting up in his years and has some thoughts and opinions that I wanted to catalog for some future grand kids , in case I'm not around if and when they make it into this world.

This community accept me for who I am and have welcomed me in and for that reason alone I am here for the long haul. The real value to me is not measured by the price of steem or the amount each of my daily doses earns in seven days, it is measured in the friendships with the people here.
Thanks for being one of those friends.
