@jerrybanfield - "my brother from another mother" lol ;) I feel like, despite the fact that I have NEVER met you, we have shared a lot (well, you have impacted my journey here on steemit to a huge degree at any rate). Your stories have inspired and motivated me and I feel like mine have often resonated with you. Tonight's one caused quite a bit of anxiety... hitting that "POST" button.... but the fact that I did hit it, means I was supposed to... (i think lol)...
and I wanted to share it with you. Not necessarily for the upvotable list, but simply because you have shared so much of your journey with all of us.
To be honest - the way this post left me feeling... I wasnt sure whether I had done a good or bad thing for myself... but hey... its done!
hope you enjoy.
Keep being AWESOME!!!
