Where to begin..... your question has really surprised me. What I mean is that when I started to think of an answer to your question, I actually surprised myself!

I'll start by saying that musing having that one million in delegation was super awesome and I am thankful that I was able earn my share of rewards from the musing upvotes. So it goes without saying that I miss that time. But that's not the interesting part because who doesn't like to earn Steem tokens :-)

As I started thinking of a response to your question I surprised myself! Obviously I miss all that community engagement that was happening back then, but its not what miss the most. What I actually miss the most is my own drive and motivation to invite others to musing.

It's amazing how a human mind works, isn't it? One would think that either you would miss all that good time that we had here, or you'll miss the people, or you'll miss those rewards, but no. Amazingly enough, what I miss the most is the sense of purpose that Musing gave me on Steem.

I was making posts left and right and talking to anybody who would listen about how musing is the dapp with the most potential. Then I got sick in November and my health problems escalated to the point that I had to go through a surgery in January. During this period I lost touch with the Steem community at large (not just musing). Now I am trying to make my way back.

Don't get me wrong because I still miss those 10-12 dollars a day that I was making writing answers on musing. For me Steem always was and still is a long term commitment and in that I chose to give musing the first place. I still feel that I made the right choice back then and that delegation being withdrawn is only a bump on the road.

I still feel strongly about musing and that musing needs the community to take charge. People need to upvote each other and not wait for the dapp to do it for them. I am still sure that Jon has plans for musing and if I even get a whiff of the team being back in action, then I'll be all over it!
