Yours is a very touching reason to post on Steemit. I have had a lot of the same feelings about it. I didn't know anything about the blockchain until my husband set up an account for me and nagged me for months until I finally started posting. Now I have friendships all over the world, I have gone from taking random snapshots to actually trying to make my photos into art, and I have a wider experience of the world than I did before I started. Your post was resteemed into my feed, so I haven't run across you before, but I will go check out some of your work. Thank you for sharing your story!
