Happy 1 year to jnetsworld. Reputation score from 25 - 44 in twelve months. That's respectable. Yes? I write a post or two a week; sometimes more.
I've met a couple of my followers IRL for pizza and found a couple of kin spirits that shared kind words from thousands of miles away.
Thank you 
Hive account@kunschj, 
Hive account@wfmkay, 
Hive account@derekrichardson. Meeting you IRL helped light my steemit path and have faith in the social media technology of blockchain and its future. It's nice to have your hellos especially when I'm sharing I'm having a tough week or a sniffle. You're like good neighbors....a click away.
Hive account@planetroq shared many of my Los Angeles adventures and took many photos by my side. She leaves LA tomorrow and embarks on a new adventure on the other coast. Thank you for being a dear friend. I will miss you.
Hive account@practicalthought wrote words of gold to encourage me when I thought I was only writing to myself. It's means a lot when someone tells you they like HOW you write and not only what. It's also nice when a bigger fish takes you aside to teach you how to swim stronger. His encouragement meant a lot to a 4 month old steemian.
I've a lot to yet learn. I survived a hardfork and adjustments. I enjoy those I've chosen to follow and love it when I discover someone's writing or art that speaks to me. I don't understand many things yet about voting power and resource credits. The SteemIt economy system is a mystery to me.
But I like writing. And I like this community.
There are other hellos that made the sun shine a little bit brighter in my world. Some simply with quiet upvotes. Thank you. You all helped me turn one today.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. And happy one year to jnetsworld.
