Hello, my dear Steemians... For today a bit different post. A post filled with gratitude. Why you may wonder... Let me tell you.

Not so long ago I receive a comment. A comment from @steemitboard which made my day. A comment with which I realized, that my work here on Steemit finally paid off. I became a dolphin. And if I am looking back, September 2017 feels to me like it was yesterday. I remember that when I started I was grateful for every vote, every comment, and every resteem. And after all this time that didn't change. I am grateful for all of you, followers, or simply just readers who support my goal. My goal to make my two daughters, and of course my whole family future bright and carefree.

And I must say I came on Steemit when the market was high. When the highest payoff for my post was about 119$. It feels now, that I am writing for a change. 1-3$ per post... But whatever. I know I will try to do my best. I know that Steemit platform has potential. I know that people here became my present, and even though I know I will never meet them eye to eye, I will have them near my heart for a long time. Stories of people which left, stories of people who are persistent, and stories of new ones replaced books I loved to read since my childhood. It's interesting how Steemit improved my vocabulary. How easy is to me to think in English, etc. Only positive thoughts.

For those of you, who just joined us I have a few words. Be persistent. Try to be versatile. Try to make quality posts, and make comments that matter. Comments which tell others you really read their post. Comments with a personal point of view. Try to engage with others, and show your true self. Believe me, people will see through you if you will make it up, and take credits for others work.

So my conclusion. Be unique, be you, and don't give up. Steemit has potential, Steemit has future, and we will make a change! Hold your head high and HODL! And be thankful and humble.
