If there is a sinking ship, you want me on it, because I row all the harder. I don't listen to the naysayers...anywhere. This is my hangout, and it's really important to many people.

I have a sense of community. As you say, I don't depend on Hive...for money. I do depend on it, though. I've 'met' a lot of interesting people here. I miss some who are gone. I don't intend to be one of them.

I get to write really long, involved blogs. Sometimes people read them, and respond to them. That's a kick.

I get to play around with collages. And I get to support, through community curation, bloggers from all over the world. Where else can I spread a bit of sunshine ?

Thanks for the strong, positive spirit. It is welcome at this moment.

See you around the bend :)
