I have today off work, so here I am at the screen typing my latest post. Don't exactly know what's going on with my eyes but... maybe it's some kind of reaction to steem.
This place is getting addictive!
Mind you, for all that, I didn't manage to post yesterday. I got caught up reading and commenting. No matter. It's all good. In fact, reading other people's work is often awesome.
I am aiming to post once a day
But when I don't. Oh well! Life happens.
Still, here I am today, and here you are.
Yes, I'm talking to you right now. You know who you are. You're the person who's going to leave me a wonderfully friendly comment and we're going to become firm friends fast!
It's the way things happen here.
I have made some amaaaazing friends here at Steemit and in the other orbiting planet, Discord. There are so many genuinely beautiful people out there in the Steemiverse and I've already met a tonne of them. Lucky ole me.
Now, when I posted last, I wrote about the amazing couple - Ren & Scott - who go by 
They told me about a lovely community within Discord called Steemit Ramble. Somehow, I made my way there. I think there was an invite or something. But so much has happened since then... that I really can't remember the finer details.
Anyway, I made it in. That's the important bit. And the day I did, there was a chat thingy (might have been called voice thingy but we don't need to get technical right now) going on amongst the witnesses. It was all very interesting, if a tad over my head.
What was even better though, were the private chats going on with a couple of the members of Steem Ramble and me.
This was where I was put at my ease
Reassured
And given some useful tips
with regard to steemit.
Straight away,
I went from feeling like the wall flower at a party where you don't know anybody to a special friend and confidante. It was awesome.
I think we all like to feel part of something, and steemit is vast, so I can imagine it would be very easy to feel a little lost. The great thing is that there are so many guides here - ready to take you by the hand and help you on your way. I've been lucky. My lost feelings were relatively few. Confused, yes, that's almost daily, but lost, no. Discord has certainly helped with that.
If you don't know what Discord is as yet, because you're new, then let me explain...
It's the lifeline you need to have so you can learn and grow here on steemit. It's where steemians get together and hang out. I guess it's a little more informal than Steemit. And you know what? Now that I'm trying to describe it, I realise, the best way to find out about it is to experience it.
One way you can get an invite to Discord is to check out Steem Savvyand you'll also get a useful beginner's course to Steemit as well.
In fact, it probably won't take you too long to get an invite. Have you written your 'introduceyourself' post? Well, if you have, then you've probably already received an invite. If you haven't, then why not? Go and do one right now.
Seriously, it's a great way to meet people.
I'm good but, not that good!
Make sure you only use the 'introduceyourself' tag once.
It's not good form to use the tag more than once.
How do I know? Well, I used it twice. I thought I was still introducing myself. I mean, there's a lot to get to know. I've lived a while. I'm multi-faceted. And I was new so likely to make mistakes. ;)
There's so much more to write, but my tummy just rumbled and dinner was meant to be an hour ago.
My poor family! It's this addiction. What can I say?
Tomorrow I'll tell you about Welcome Wagon and my new love of Bitmojis.
