Week 13 of Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Entry @reonlouw
This is my fifth entry in this contest. It remains a great expression of the Steemit culture and something everyone should participate in. Having said that, I am amazed at the commitment @thedarkhorse and the judges @tryskele , @lynncoyle1, @energyaddict22, & @wolfhart have shown towards this contest. We are a fickle generation, especially online and attention often wander. I salute the commitment, the hours of work and the heart that keeps you engaged here.
If you want to know more about this contest, please follow the link to this week's post.
Here are the two bloggers I want to highlight in this entry.
1. @nexit
This blogger is from the Netherlands and first responded to an Afrikaans comment I made in a comment. (Afrikaans, a South African language, developed from Dutch, the language spoken in the Netherlands.) We share a sense of humour, I think and @nexit is trying to engage me in a daily "Find the Missing Number" contest with little success. I have looked for this number everywhere but to no avail. We may have to call the police next unless you can help. Check it out here:

To learn more about @nexit you can take a look at this post. This is the one I am nominating for curation by everyone who reads here.
I think @nexit's engaging and friendly banter and generosity of spirit makes for an ideal Steemian. Please add your encouragement to mine.
2. @botefarm
Teniola Bolade from southwest Nigeria is a practising Organic Vegetable farmer. He is a prolific blogger that participates actively in a number of communities on Steemit.

@botefarm inspires me with his can-do attitude and exemplary work ethic. I also love his love for his country as shown in the post I am nominating.
I find it easy to predict that this man will accomplish success in his every endeavour. He is worthy of your support here on Steemit.
3. Optional: Themed 3rd Featured Blogger: @giantbear

The third blogger I am allowed to showcase here should be an artist of any rank. I used to spend a lot of money on Amazon.com, buying books. I am an avid reader and feel deprived if unable to read for at least an hour before falling asleep every night.
I think Amazon is in trouble. I am not spending nearly as much there since I discovered @giantbear. And you will also spend less at Amazon once you discover this author. As a Steemian, @giantbear is above most of us. I write this for your sake, not that of @giantbear. You can thank me later...
This is fun to do. I find it hard to believe that you are not doing it too!

well done @reonlouw! vacation won't stop you to find those good bloggers and I must thank you for the third blogger, hahahha.. yes he's exceptional. have done upvote and comments all bloggers too. How's the waves sound now?
You are amazing @cicisaja! Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy @giantbear. I am a big fan.
Thank you for your generous support of @pifc. I think it is one of the greatest things on Steemit.
Our time is coming to an end here in Margate. I am desperately drinking in every moment we have left. It has been good and I know I will miss my sea view when I switch on my computer at home to blog on Steemit.
Aahh time flies! It's already over... I thought that I just read one post before you go and one about the sound of the sea... now you're going back😟, there are so many things that I missed out from you and other pifc too.
Have a safe trip home then👋 best regards to Mrs. Louw and the kids
Awesome entry bud. Thanks for continuing to join us at the #payitforward project/contest. All the best to you.
Thank you very much, @reonlouw!
I've read this post an hour ago, but I was speechless for an hour, hence the later reaction.
I am deeply honored!
When I wrote the story, I thought you would be the only one who will take the time to read it.
I think the cat is out of the bag now ... 😊
Have a nice day, greetings to your family and see you tomorrow!

I can't believe my eyes, did I just got curated here. This is an honour I can't contain, I want to cry 😢, when I first saw @energyaddict22 telling me on my blog I was like, no way. I walked out of my hangover office here to catch some air before coming back to type this.
I promise to do more for the steemit community at large, am encouraged to write more, research more and shun out quality post at all time.
So help me God.
More great entries this week @reonlouw. Thank you for your continued postings and support. It is greatly appreciated.
They say risk only comes from not knowing what you are doing.
