RE: "Remember when you wanted what you currently have!"
I'm really glad I read this, got to know a bit more about you man and we have so much in common, at least struggle wise. It's really great to see were you are right now and being able to look back and say "I made all of this". Cheers
Thanks @anomadsoul. Writing this was a somewhat "out of body experience". Dragging back six years through my old Instagram feed to find those sad photos of the only coins I had to my name kind of made me nauseous. Whenever someone asks me "How you doin'?" I instinctively say "Good!". Taking the time to write a heartfelt blog post about the hardest chapter of my life does give me perspective on just how good things are. I've said this many times but these are the subtlties that makes Steemit so damn special. I can't tell you how many times I've sat down to do a daily blog about whatever, then found some profound, impactful conclusion or revelation about my own life.
I love my mom so much but she just hammered the final nail in my Steemfest 3 hopes. It would have been a long shot anyway between flights, tickets, hotel and an ever slumping market, but she called and surprised us that she'll be visiting the Twin Cities from November 9 - 13. I can't wait to see her and she's missing @guthrie like crazy, but we'll have to postpone our chance to meet up and shoot the shit. I've got a trip to Europe and Toronto coming up early next year and I'll be in LA, NYC and Vegas several times. We'll make it happen.
