So many changes and firsts and milestones in the past few weeks. It's rather mindboggling, but absolutely fantastic !

1st Steempower milestone hit !

First of, I just powered up some steem and reached my modest milestone of 1500 Steempower. I hope to gather more steem towards the next goal of 5000 Steempower ... everything takes time, but the first steps have been taken.

500 followers !

It seems only yesterday when I celebrated my 1st 100 followers, but time fleis when you're having fun and I just hit 500 followers today. Hooray, thank you all for finding merrit in my posts.

the two milestones above pale in comparisson with the folowing firsts and milestones though. I am so excited about these !

I've started using the App (finally... sorry...) and I'm loving it!
Not found anything I don't like, yet and I'm sure I'm not using it to its fullest potential.
Great app! well done!
