Hello, its #gratitudeday14. Thanks to @tojukaka for coming up with the gratitude challenge you can join by going through his gratitude day introductory post here to know how to participate

Still on gratitude.... So what am i grateful for today??? I'm grateful for community. I remember joining steemit sometime in January.
My friends @vellzz and @andersonfx talked me into joining steemit. I was already into crypto currency i even had some steem lying in idle in my bittrex account but i was not on steemit.

After much talk about the opportunities i decided to join. I read up a little about steemit with some guidance from my friends. I was ready to start....

I watched @maryfavour video on youtubeon how to transfer steem from bittrex to my steemit account. So i got started.

My friends had already briefed me about bots and the profits in their little understanding because they were noobs as well looking to make an extra $. But i later found out using bots was just a bidding war and was not so profitable.
Well........ I bought some SBD used it to pay bots, got my reputation up in weeks thinking i needed nothing more. But i was missing out on one of the essentials of steemit which is COMMUNITY. I found out without the bots i was a nobody. So i decided to find a group to belong......

How I Joined My First Community

I saw @samstickkz post and i decided to link up. I left comment indicated interest to join his group and he asked for my number he graciously added me to the @steemit-uyo and he also invited me to join @stach much later after having a brief chat with him on how to progress. He encouraged me to engage in the community.

I AM GRATEFUL FOR COMMUNITY

I joined the @steemit-uyo and @stach @redfishpillar community and i have benefited immensely. In terms of upvotes, depth of knowledge shared on these platforms and the sense of belonging it brings.

I hope to grow and know a lot more people
I'm grateful
