*Every now and then in life, you get the opportunity to experience the underlying truth of real humanity, a real sense of good in the world. It can be revolutionary and completely change your perspective, so be humbled and grateful when it happens.*

Life is an interesting thing. You can be on top of the world one day, completely devastated in the blink of an eye and yet, we each have the opportunity to dissect our daily lives, find the good in it, take the lessons and use perspective to find any source of optimism in any given situation. 

I am truly humbled today and grateful at the depth of compassion and kindness I have received from this community. From messages of empathy, support, hugs and love to gratitude for me sharing my mistakes and encouragement to move forward and start again, I must admit I lay in bed last night in thought - that there are still so many people that are good at heart. It's so easy these days to get bogged down in negativity and become cynical and cruel, but I honestly believe that isn't what most people are made of and yesterday it showed. 

While I would like to send each of you a huge hug of thanks and gratitude, I cannot physically - we are a vast community spread out across the world with commonalities that overlap and knit us together in the chain where we've created a home and all I can offer is my words of deep, heartfelt thanks and appreciation. Ultimately each of us are the links that make this blockchain what it is and while I know that blogging here is only a part of it's function, I think that each of us would agree that if the internet went bang tomorrow, that we would miss the connection, the friendship, the laughter, the sharing of experiences, music, art and soul that gets poured into this platform each and every day. 

Life has thrown plenty of curveballs my way and to put it into perspective, this wasn't a life or death situation and pales in comparison to what many of us go through on a daily basis, but the comfort that I have felt in the last day has changed a pretty shite situation into a deep feeling of belonging to something bigger than myself and I think that is pretty darn special. 

So to each of you who has welcomed me back with open arms, words of sympathy, who reblogged my post, who delegated and encouraged me to get back in the saddle and rebuild, **thank you!**
