### I think about all of you a lot.  Even when I'm not posting.  SEE IF YOU CAN RELATE TO THE SAME THING!

There are many days I login to steem, to check whats up, do some curation, and then I stare at the post icon, and think.

What kind of witty, important information can I post that you need to read?

_Sometimes I can go multiple days without something that needs to be posted.  That's cool, because it means I'm not writing gibberish just for the sake of writing._

...however today, I remembered again that I know some of you check out my blog when you haven't heard from me in a while. You deliberately check to see what I've been up to... and _just maybe_ you missed my latest post.

I do that too... _I don't always wait for something to pop up in my feed._  I will **manually check** certain blogs to see what people are up to too.  Often I am 2 or 3 days late on one of their posts, and that irritates me, so I find it helps me to start checking more frequently again.

## STEEM feels like my gateway to the world.  It is the door that is open to meet people like YOU!

...and that's a special resource to put me in contact with special people like yourselves.

...and I love that.

#### So this is just a beacon I'm sending out that lets you know, I'm thinking about all of you, and I'm still here.
