I stopped blogging about 8 months ago.

So, I'm reintroducing myself to those I lost contact with and introducing myself to all of you who have since kindly followed me.

I joined Steemit in October 2016 at @johnjgeddes suggestion. He's my husband and thought it would be a great platform for me to share my photography and he also encouraged me to write.

My short time on Steemit was a positive experience. During that time, I met a lot of extraordinary people from different walks of life, different interests and beliefs and found myself becoming more open and curious about life outside my four walls.



I'm a fairly private person though, a tad shy—although I can come out of my shell when I meet people who are "kindred". At first, I wanted to be incognito, hence the @countrygirl username and the pretence of not knowing @johnjgeddes (that was a little more than awkward!)

Talking about myself is as difficult as sitting through a job interview and being asked how I might describe my strengths and weaknesses. It seems forced and artificial. My strengths are in my weaknesses–I'm perfectly imperfekt in every way. No, John, I am not Mary Poppins!

However…

... the basics...

I'm a mom, a grandmother and a wife. I love to laugh, share life stories, photographs, travels, hikes, music interests, cooking, decorating and gardening tips. Oh and I love dogs. Cats are okay “ish”. They seem to gravitate to me, but it’s not entirely reciprocal.

Also I'm a stranger in a strange land (whatever does that mean anyway?)

It will take time for me to relearn the Steemit rules and the new lingo.

Please be patient with me as I rebuild Steem Power so I can generously upvote some of the great content being posted on Steemit.

I look forward to saying hello again to the people I followed and to meeting new Steemians as well.
