RE: My First Year On Steemit!

in #nature6 years ago

Once again thanks for following our poems. I know I am a roller coaster and still have no idea what I am doing but post whatever is ticking me.

I am so glad to read your pure posts about nature. In this I am given insight into our creator and the creation. I like the posts that you ask questions. That gives me an opportunity to learn.

You have been on Steemit longer than me. I joined in November. Take your time and have fun. I am pleased to know you and see God's glory through you.

Thank you so much for sharing your story today. Like you I always had a hard time to color in the lines. I failed many spelling tests and my least favorite class in college was rhetoric.

I enjoyed molecular biology. I don't know why I didn't study art. I think I was afraid of not getting a job. After graduation I found it really doesn't matter what we study. What matters is "WHY" we study.

Later I became a teacher in an after school academy in Korea and then studied education and started teaching in the public schools in Seoul.

I don't really teach English, I teach students. I am certified as a US teacher but found it more to my aptitude to teach in Korea. I can say this "God's calling."

I came to use Steemit because I thought it would be a good way to earn crypto. I went through the trending tags and was pretty disappointed until I came to poetry.

I liked Daniel's poems because there were no answers. It was like solving a puzzle with no solution. He welcomed my ridiculous comments on his blog and took the time to read what I was writing and supported me in so many ways. I really appreciate his projects in poetry music and other artistic works.

I also appreciate your garden and the arboredom and nature center. The flowers in your posts actually remind me of my wife. It is the purity and humble surrender to God's glory that makes these flowers beautiful. She is conservative and our views on education and life often contrast but this is why we need each other.

I'm struggling now to help my boys write their own journals. They go to Korean public schools and write in Korean. My youngest has a hard time to read and write but can sing and loves music. We sing together something silly every day.

In conclusion, Steemit is what we make it. You have found a beautiful use for it.

Likewise, it is nice to have you as a friend through Steemit! Enjoy your boys! Daniel has been so appreciative of people reading his poetry and commenting here on Steemit! The 100 Days of Poetry Challenge really took up a lot more of his time than he realized it might! It hardly left him with much time to reply back to people! I admire people that write poetry/stories/books ; my gift is with numbers - hence the programmer/math tutor jobs and flower gardening!
