In the month of March, i started Thank You Galore; a monthly Thank You Party which is necessary to strengthen community, to show gratitude towards one another, to incite mining with minds and ofcourse recap on great testimonials and amazing things that happened within the month. 

Well, many great things happened in the Month of April and again:

steemit was very much involved!

Thank you galore for April is coming late but it is better late. The truth is April became my most draining month. My body broke down from doing months of no sleep and trying to run secular call center job, steemit and then VIVA came up too.

The thing with steemit is, one day passes and you are not on it and you miss out on opportunities. Your very presence on steemit can surprise you with amazing opportunities and i am testimony to this. For instance, i ended up finding myself involved in the VIVA project and i was given the privilege to be Crown Holder and this all stemmed from being present on steemit on particular days!

 There other amazing things too that were born in April and some of these beautiful things are triggered by events on steemit or actions of other steemians. 

To fully enjoy steemit, you have to be present!

A new road to steemit growth and a new marketing strategy involving the entire steemit community became more fully blown in April leading to the creation of community-driven growth ideas and in my case sparked up the birth of #steemgigs and @steemgigs.

Hardfork 1.8 gave us new opportunities as well. It was a learning period as it helped us look for active ways to improve the situation. This may have involved; getting to know the community better; using the time of low rewards to learn to create better as well building more solid connections by interacting more. We also learned to remove financial rewards from the picture and focus on broader and more lasting forms of rewards!

Many other beautiful things happened on steemit in April and i won't be able to enlist all but i do remember the new friends i met in April and i am out to celebrate them in this post. 

In general, i am grateful to all steemians because gifting the internet a piece of ourselves daily by mining with our minds, is sheer selflessness and anyone joining causes, for the betterment of humanity should be celebrated.

 
Steemit is the first of its kind and i am grateful! Steemit has created room for limitlessness, opportunity and hope. There is now some new-found hope daily, that someone could contact you on steemit.chat or discord and say; "Terry, look at this opportunity or "Terry, join me in this venture or Terry", i love what you are doing, check your wallet, i left you a small gift. Most of all, i now have the fulfillment from knowing that i have put myself to use daily. I don't get this feeling when i sit imprisoned on that small office chair, taking in calls non-stop in the midst of excruciating pain.

I will stop here in expressing how grateful i am, because many words can't express this gratitude, thus, i will use 2 and these will be:

"Thank You"

Imagine a place; borderless; hosting such great minds; a sand box upon which you can test your ideas without shame, till they become fully alive and you have all these great minds telling you; "Go on; you are on the right track"; "you inspired me"; "you are awesome"; "we know you already know that you are great but we feel the need to tell you again". Imagine this place, also filled with brotherhood; love; creation's beauty; companionship; creativity; genius; peace; playful fights; and so much bare and free info! 

"What else to do we need to keep our dreams alive in dream-bits, till they come true?"

Suddenly; "dreams equals reality" and this requires a ginormous:

 "Thank You!"

It is easy to now overlook the weight of a simple "Thank You". 

By "Thank You", i mean those two words; the ones we used, before the existence of fiat money, cryptocurrency, upvotes, elaborate comments, grammar classes etc

"Thank You" is still really weighty and we will put it to use again today!

April has ended but it is better late than never. We will start now and this be carried out again for the month of May! We will be putting out a series per month, to say "Thank You". 

Some usernames are hard to spell, but for those that have had recent real impact on us and WE; for those to whom we have tangible gratitude for; we will remember how to spell their username BY HEART! 

So this is how it will go: In the comment section below, feel free and state from your memory and with much love, all the steemians you can remember; who impacted you awesomely in the month of April and blow them a simple yet heartfelt "Thank You!" 

Also, state a brief summary of how they have impacted you, so that they know, that you have them in your hearts and so that they are spurred to keep on in the ultimate art of upbuilding humanity and reshaping the INTERNET.

I will start with my Thank YOU(s):

Utmostly i thank our Creator Jehovah for helping me find steemit and these amazing community of steemians that constitute it and ofcourse for keeping me alive and healthy and for the beautiful sense of sight, touch, smell, etc

@sykochica has tended to me like her little toddler steemian, non-stop. No words! She has done many many things to help me grow on steemit. Growing on steemit means growing as a human in general. The flagging; the bad-post-days; the errors; the weak internet; the bugs; the no-interaction-days, the amazing-post days, the amazing-comments days; the gifts; etc "THIS IS ACTUAL GROWTH!

"Dear Sykochica; THANK YOU!"
