Hive buzz reminded me about my Birthday today.
I can't believe how fast 6 years flew by, it seems like just yesterday I was trying to write an introduction post. I was so overwhelmed with how it all worked in the beginning. I had no idea where I would fit into a social media site and had to learn how to blog. I almost gave up, it seemed so hard.
I think the main reason I stayed was that I found the @silvergoldstackers group. This group is really one of the first communities to assemble on Steem and then Hive.

I try to post now and then when I have the time, just keeping up with my feed is a part-time job.
I'm mostly hanging out in the 
Thanks to all that supported me and keep it fun and interesting. I'm looking forward to what this year brings on the Hive blockchain!
