Hey everyone, I make regular steemd.com checks, I knew that today was coming sometime in September, I didn't actually realize that it was today! I can't believe how time flies, it really has been an incredible journey. I have found so much out about myself in the last year and predominantly thanks to Steemit.
I never knew I could take such decent pics, I have a passion for photography even, albeit still only using a cellphone camera which surprisingly takes some fantastic shots, the macro shots I so love. I didn't realize I couldn't write (or as badly as I do) but try we shall and do ;) I also did not know what an incredible love and passion I had for bees, so much so that just of late the last three weeks become a bee-keeper with 5 swarms soon to be ten, and on my way to becoming a top South African Honey Producer. A farmer I guess you could call me, who would have thought? My importing business has just recently gone bust so the timing of all this could not have been better, I feel really blessed actually, albeit in a rather challenging time of my life!
A special shout out to a few really amazing Steemians who have pretty much been with me here from day one and or supported me here on a continual basis from when we met. 
My South African mates 
Lastly, my Father 
To everyone else I have forgotten to mention, many thanks!!
Here is to the next year, let it be even better than the last!!!
Take it easy, hang loose, be cool and Cheer$;)
Namaste!
