Welcome back from the short break, to make known our guest for today...let us make welcome ...drum rolls please.... 
@melinda010100I have always seen her blogs about the contest she runs on shadows and it always amazes me on how she could run a contest diligently bringing together different wonderful entries. Well, have not really had a personal conversation with her but I have participated few times in the contest. Thanks to 
@melinda010100@melinda010100For me, the best feeling in the world is gratitude. When I have gone through bad times it was gratitude that pulled me through. Years ago, when I was in the middle of a divorce from my kids dad, I kept a gratitude journal and every night before I went to sleep l wrote down 5 things that I was grateful for. It was a habit I kept up for years and now when things get tough I know that counting my blessing will get me though any situation.
The first thing that comes to mind is Steem. It is one of the best experiences there is and I wish everyone the opportunity to learn all that Steem has to offer. When Jim died of cancer 3 years ago all of my family and friends were concerned that I would get lonely living here alone in our home in the woods. But it wasn't long after his death that I discovered Steem and although I miss him everyday, because of Steem I have never been lonely. Being on Steem is a truly great experience, and I wish everyone could experience it and enjoy it as much as I do.
The Shadow Contest was completely inspired by 
My favorite shadow is always all of the shadows that have been entered this week! I am always delighted by the creativity of each entry.
I don't know that I have a favorite shadow, but this one, entered in Round 14 is a particularly memorable one. Shasta has entered every Round since the beginning of the Shadow contest.
That would be a horrible thing! Unless I can say vegetables, preferably oven roasted. I'm a bit of a foodie, always willing to try something new and food was one of the reasons I loved traveling to different parts of the world. I could make it all year on vegetables, though.
20 years ago, when I was first diagnosed with MS a friend who had struggled with MS for 10 years prior to me said her best advice was to 'walk and treasure each step' It was great advice, and now that my MS has progressed to where I am no longer able to walk and must use a mobility scooter to get around, I have great memories of all the walks I took while I was still able.
I am always pretty relaxed but maybe my answer would be deep breaths and a nice glass of red wine.
I really am attracted to people who are confident, out spoken and a little outrageous... Maybe because I'm not but would like to be!
DISLIKE- people who go through life angry and blaming others for their miserable lives.
Probably the first moments of holding my new born babies in my arms! I have 3 children, and even though their births were many years ago, I think those first few minutes with each of them were the best minutes of my life.
One of the most memorable gifts that I ever received was a Valentines Day gift of a weekend long trip to Frankfort Germany and tickets to see Harry Belafonte perform. Flying from the US to Europe for the weekend was wonderful, but seeing Harry perform had been on my life wish list forever, and since he was seldom performing in the United States, this gift was truly memorable.
The little things that make me smile are my grandkids. Although they are no longer little! They are all teenagers now, and are absolutely delightful. Smiling when they are around is easy to do!
What a great time with
Melinda and I met many moons ago, and I joined many shadows contests but after we both lost a special friend here on steemit I noticed that she is someone I admire and love. And don’t forget what she means to the steemisfere, she does so much and with two new hives, one for shadow contests and one for featheredfriday she is staying and so am I. She is a role model for many.
