Both of the posts so far are really insightful and appreciated - the more I watch Steemit, the more I'm noticing the value of interaction and caring about what other people are thinking and posting...and the more the junk posts are bugging me. And if they're bugging me after only a few months, they must get really tiring after a year or more.

The biggest obstacle I'm encountering is actually finding the time to post daily. I can easily curate daily, but posting daily is much more of a challenge. When I watch what you're up to daily, though, I tend to think this is a problem of my dedication more than my circumstances.

Thanks for the thoughts and encouragement and I'm really happy to see your hard work and thoughtfulness paying off - you've worked hard for it and this is not a get-rich-quick scheme.
