It is good to see you posting again, my friend! I am also also back after a hiatus the past year or so. My wife and I have 4 little ones now so sitting down for an hour to share my thoughts and craft an article is a gift, lol.
I am encouraged by your outlook for this community of Hive. Maybe all it ever becomes is a slice of heaven on the blockchain where we store photos and share some of our daily life with a few friends. If that is what it is, and we earn a free cup of coffee here and there from rewards, well, that is a true gift. Blessings to you!
