Humbled (1 of 1).jpg


Every now and then in life, you get the opportunity to experience the underlying truth of real humanity, a real sense of good in the world. It can be revolutionary and completely change your perspective, so be humbled and grateful when it happens.

~ Anon


Life is an interesting thing. You can be on top of the world one day, completely devastated in the blink of an eye and yet, we each have the opportunity to dissect our daily lives, find the good in it, take the lessons and use perspective to find any source of optimism in any given situation.

I am truly humbled today and grateful at the depth of compassion and kindness I have received from this community. From messages of empathy, support, hugs and love to gratitude for me sharing my mistakes and encouragement to move forward and start again, I must admit I lay in bed last night in thought - that there are still so many people that are good at heart. It's so easy these days to get bogged down in negativity and become cynical and cruel, but I honestly believe that isn't what most people are made of and yesterday it showed.

While I would like to send each of you a huge hug of thanks and gratitude, I cannot physically - we are a vast community spread out across the world with commonalities that overlap and knit us together in the chain where we've created a home and all I can offer is my words of deep, heartfelt thanks and appreciation. Ultimately each of us are the links that make this blockchain what it is and while I know that blogging here is only a part of it's function, I think that each of us would agree that if the internet went bang tomorrow, that we would miss the connection, the friendship, the laughter, the sharing of experiences, music, art and soul that gets poured into this platform each and every day.

Life has thrown plenty of curveballs my way and to put it into perspective, this wasn't a life or death situation and pales in comparison to what many of us go through on a daily basis, but the comfort that I have felt in the last day has changed a pretty shite situation into a deep feeling of belonging to something bigger than myself and I think that is pretty darn special.

So to each of you who has welcomed me back with open arms, words of sympathy, who reblogged my post, who delegated and encouraged me to get back in the saddle and rebuild, thank you!


I have never had to face anything that could overwhelm the native optimism and stubborn perseverance I was blessed with.

Welcome back. It was a harsh lesson, but not the end of the world. With the knowledge and friends you have today, you can build your account back in a shorter time. We're here to help you do that.

Thank you Erika, from the bottom on my heart, it is so very appreciated.

It is a beautiful thing when community comes together. I believe we the people can do it better than any government. 😁😁

Couldn't say it any better myself. That's why we are here, for the community and decentralization. They go hand in hand for sure!

😘
There is a wonderful community on here, that has supported me so much down through the years. I share in your gratitude xxxx

I'll add to the list. Welcome Back!

Hi Kris. Thank you, it's great to be back on the horse 🙂 I hope you are well and having nice sunny weather there. Are the beavers badgers still being a pain?

Well, they are not beavers just yet.... but that may be coming soon. lol

Hahaha I appreciate that you got the joke. I think you might need a lot more stuff that goes boom, or bang. Have you set up trail cams? I'd be interested in knowing how many there are working on that dam.

{This is Emma now going to do interwebs research on beavers being a nuisance and what their family groups consist of}

The negative can go and take a hump to itself I always say! :OD

😏 Indeed!

💚❤️🦖
You're super welcome :<)

Welcome back! I think you are making a great comeback and I have faith that you will be right back where you were in no time. You can only go up from here.

I have been supported and helped in so many ways here, for which I am eternally grateful. It is a giving community that you are surrounded in.

Sending positive energy your way!

It feels so good to be back. You are spot on and I couldn't agree more. Thank you for the positivity, sending you a hug and some flowers💐

This is such a nice post to read, it truly is a great community, and I hope the internet doesn't cut out one day because I would really miss everyone I've met here. I'm thrilled to see that you're well and the last post got so much engagement, you'll be back to normal in no time at all.

🙌🏻🙌🏻 I am so glad to read your words Em 🦋 Knowing that you have been supported and helped by many is wonderful 🤗 I too consider that we are like a chain, each link does its function and helps to intertwine another and so on. I wish good things keep happening to you 💟
