Your right the time does fly!
Happy 1st steemit birthday. It is a bit of a struggle on here to get rewarded, but you are a good example to many that with hard work and perseverance you can get recognised and succeed! You should be proud of what you have accomplished here.
All we need now is for the steem price to start going back up! And it will in time, I have faith..
Thank you, my friend. Every effort sooner or later generates rewards! and of course STEEM will rise. It's just a matter of time and we'll be like a year ago or maybe better. Greetings!
