Hey guys, I hope you're all doing well, and anticipating the launch of HIVE in the very near future. I'm not sure exactly when it starts up however I don't think it has happened yet. I've been thinking about what a last post of steem may look like and couldn't really decide, or come up with anything profound...So you get this one.

I've been on steem for 1010 days and have made 1542 blog posts...Over that time I've enjoyed writing, mainly for myself, but also for some of you guys who have followed along and today, for what may be my last post here before head on over to HIVE I thought I'd share a few.
I figure it may leave a reasonable history of my time here as a sample of what my steem journey was all about, what I'm interested in and well...About me in general. So, here goes.

OK, so I think you get the idea. I assume none of you will go through this list, or read the posts, but that's cool because I wrote them for me anyway.
You see, that's what this is all about for me...Enjoyment. I enjoy the process of writing and pouring my memories, skills, opinions and thoughts out as words. Of course, I love the interaction I've gained and hope that continues on HIVE when we move over there.
I will probably be back here from time to time, and of course, if HIVE has teething problems may post here again too...Only time will tell. For now, well...I hope some of y'all take a look at something in this list and take the time to have a read and comment back. That's what means the most to me...Your engagement.
Later y'all...See you on HIVE if you come across.
