My 1 year on Steem anniversary

Time passed so fast! I joined to Stemm 1 year ago!

My Steem journey started 26 January 2019. In my email found a letter from Vidas. It was first letter dedicated only for me (not for all students of Unda Maris)

Vidas told me that he would like that I would participate in Secrets of Organ Playing Contest. First I didn't want participate there. But this letter encouraged me.

Hive account@organduo created me Steem account 27 january 2019. First I didn't understand where I joined. What was this contest, where I need publish my videos and how to do that. Poor Hive account@organduo patiently answered my stupid questions how to make a post, how to resteem and what does it mean. First I thought that I need to resteem my post. Now it looks so funny.

First I posted only for Secrets of Organ Playing Contest. After I found more themes interesting for me.

Step by step Steem became important part of my life. Biggest changes:

1. Before Steem I didn't post on social networks. Now I do that almost every day. I publish my drawings, music, stories, daily activity.
2. Steem encouraged me to do some things that I don't that I wouldn't do without Steem. For example: Hive account@organduo do you remember you asked me to assist a little during your concert? First I wanted to say 'no' because I was afraid to ruin your concert... But Steem encouraged me to say "yes".
3. Steem helped me to remember that I loved to paint. Especially Pinky and Spiky contest. I draw more often. It helps me to relax. Also I can share result with others.
4. I found new friends. One lives in Australia (Hive account@contrabourdon I mean you)
5. Secrets of Organ Playing Contest and Actifit inspire me to practice an organ more. How Actifit helps me to practice? I have syntheses at home. So I can practice part of manual at home. When I see step count less that 1K steps I go to practice in my church with pedals.
6. I know better my friends and others relatives. I can see their daily activity in Actifit reports.
7. I use more often my mobile phone. I need to have it near to me that I could count my steps.

I'd like to say thank you Hive account@organduo because you introduced me to Steem,created an account. Without you I wouldn't know about Steem at all. Also big thanks to Hive account@contrabourdon for all your help to develop my account.
