Feeling like a Cocker Spaniel on Speed...

So it has been more than 24 hours since my first post and introduction to Steemit. WoW!!! I am overwhelmed by the show of unity on this platform. It doesn't appear to be self serving, quite the contrary. And this is great to see and hear. I will say the only drawback is that there is so much to learn and so many directions to go in. I feel like a Cocker Spaniel puppy on speed. I want to DEVOUR ALL OF IT AND ALL OF IT NOW!!! 

But this is a good thing. Well, kinda. Let me put this a bit more in perspective for you. My mother was Spanish/Italian and my father was Scot/Irish. I am an only child (I'll dive in to this more in a later post) and I am a Leo. I have the physique of Danny DeVito, the charm of Michael J. Fox and the intellect of Joey from Friends. 

In other words, I am a hot mess. But, again, that is ok. I am comfortable in my own skin and people either love me or hate me. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground with that. Ok, REFOCUS!!! So as I was saying, with all the material that is out there to introduce the minnows to these shark invested waters, there is so much to learn and so many different directions to go in. All the "How to for the newbie" articles, which by the way are very informative, to the homesteader section. Where to start? Oh, yeah, what about the all the readings about cryptocurrencies and what it is and isn't? But I want to hear this new artist who is posting here and we can't forget about person who is sharing their battle with cancer. It's like having this huge box of crayons and your favorite coloring book. Where to start? What color should I use? 

For me it doesn't really matter. As long as I start. I know that this is going to be a wonderful adventure. I have never blogged before, so this is new and fun for me. Part of the situation for me is that 1 is too many and 1000 is not enough. This is something that has guided me through my life as far back as I can remember (more of this for another post). I have my own style of writing and my own thought patterns. Some of it may agree with you and others, well, maybe not so much. I will say this...I am real. I don't pretend to be anything that I am not. I have a tendency to not sugar coat things, not out of malice, but rather honesty, which is the way I would want to be treated. I have thick skin and my feelings don't get hurt easily. So as I put on Duke Ellington Meets Count Basie Battle Royal, I slow my mind down so that I am able dive into more of these articles. I am having fun. I hope you are too. If you have gotten this far, thank you. Thank you for your time and patience with me as I attempt to navigate this wonderful world, this new arena and all the things going on in my head. 

Till we connect again...Migliori auguri e viaggi sicuri
