Thank you so much, @reonlouw! Right back atcha about the favorite blogger part :) I always love your posts. You are very unique, thoughtful, motivational, and always surprise me.

I "forced" myself to write this post. I saw your task on @kryptonia and kept it open, along with my document, for a day and a half! I am on the hunt for sbi shares now and you had such a generous offer that I did not want to miss it.

I thought my topic was very trite, that everyone already knew about it, and that my story was not interesting anyway. Thank you so much for changing my opinion about all of that! I got some wonderful comments on the post and enjoyed my trip down memory road.

And congrats on the participation you got on this contest. I did read some of the other entries and will now get to them all. I agree that sharing our different worlds is a wonderful aspect of steemit.

You are really a mover and shaker here, and thank you again!
