Happy Saturday Everyone!!

While sitting in The Alliance's Saturday 'Pow Wow' voice meeting I was told about the new tag made by @crazybgadventure called #shoutoutsaturdays.

This perked my ears up because I was looking for something fun to post about. I have a lot of half-finished posts in the works but nothing that was making me excited to really talk about today. Yes, even when writing posts I'm moody......hmmm ...... I have to be in the mood to write even about the game Sims 4!

With this new tag in mind, off to the trending page, I went. It's a dangerous job to go to trending but sometimes life calls for deep sacrifices. Sacrifices of the possibility, while wading through the trending page searching for answers to lifelong questions or just what the heck was this new #shoutoutsaturdays tag all about, I might lose a few brain cells.

Trending being the scary place that it is these days it wasn't a task for the faint of heart but I was willing to go to find answers.

I read a few of the #shoutoutsaturdays posts already done to see what they are all about. Most people decided to put their own spin on it and make it their's but in the end, the running theme was to give a Shoutout to some people that impacted your week on Steemit.

My next stop, after surviving the 'Trending page', was to my own feed to see who had posted so far today. Sometimes it helps to see someone's name to remember who you really interacted with over the last seven days.

Going through my feed I ran across a post from @enginewitty called Admiration & Appreciation III. I knew this was a curation post so I was very excited to see who Enginewitty (En gi new it ty) picked to be in it.

While reading his post, I started to tear up. I could feel the love he had for the people he was posting about. You see, I was lucky enough to still be in the 'Pow Wow' when he was writing up this post. I heard him going through The Alliance members list and he knew everyone personally by name. Knew all about them. Knew if they had been gone, sick, on vacation or just had a child.

To say I was surprised he knew every member of his family he calls The Alliance names, what they stood for, what they were doing and how they were doing, would be a lie. This man, that made The Alliance, is not that kind of leader.

The next thing I read was a comment by @c0ff33a and it went something like this.

"You are by far and away the best poster that never gets the appreciation he deserves.........

This is how I read @c0ff33a's comment he left on Enginewitty's post. Those that know me well, know anything of importance I really should read at least two times.

I will leave that there for you to figure out why I should.

I was so happy to see @enginewitty's dedication to his family, The Alliance, acknowledged for all to see. He does so much for all of us and never asks for anything in return but to have us take care of each other. Never him, just each other.

He is always a discord chat away. He will drop what he is doing to listen to and offer advice if you take the time to ask him. He is the most approachable person in charge of a large group of people that I have ever had the chance to run into.

He is a man who cares so much about everyone and not just those in his family. He goes out of his way to make everyone feel like they are heard and have a say in things like, should The Alliance support @tarc? Once again showing he truly cares what each member thinks and cares about.

He also takes advice very well too, even when not asking for any........

I have no idea who would do that......but I hear some do. Not naming names or anything.

Now some might be wondering why I'm writing a shout out for a Witness. They have tons of power. Steem flowing out of their pockets right? Wrong!

He is a gold fish. Just the same as most of us are here. Though if you ask him, he will say,

He is 'The Golden Wishing Fish of Legend'

If you read @enginewitty's post called Witness Update - My Delegations you will see that he gives his support to so many different groups and causes that he doesn't leave a whole lot for himself.

I think sometimes it's good to stop and realize that people in charge of large groups need shoutouts too!!

He does what he does because he believes it is the right way of doing things. Helping all and any he can. If you are on discord for any length of time you can see him all over the place pitching in, helping and always ready to answer a question when asked.

He is not a whale or a dolphin but to him, it doesn't matter when it comes to helping where needed. He gives where and when he can. I think someone that lives every day with that kind of giving attitude should be thanked for the great and wonderful job they are doing for all of us.

While this might be a strange kind of a shoutout to some, I'm hoping it is a reminder to all that no matter how big or small a person is a "Thank you for caring and doing the great job you do every day!" is something all of us should do more often.
