The BLACKLUX party is turning reflective. What are you thankful for at the end of 2017?
What Are You Thankful For?
In the comments below, let me know what you are thankful for at the end of 2017. If you have a made a Steemit post about this, you can just leave its link in the comments. I'll select 2 random winners of 2 SBD each. That's 4 SBD total. If you want your potential prize to go to @blacklux, let me know in the comments.
I'm thankful for all the wild mushrooms I've been seeing this fall and winter, especially the ones I've been able to eat! I'm grateful for the Steemit Iron Chef contest, run by @progressivechef. It kept me connected to Steemit, once a week, during a time when I couldn't be online much. And I'm grateful that I didn't miss a single week. I'm not the most consistent person, so getting an entry in, every week, on time, was a real improvement for me.
I'm thankful that Steemit makes it so easy for us to support each other when we need a hand. I appreciate everyone who has come to my party. You are what makes this party work! And I appreciate all the folks who take time to visit my posts, upvote, and leave a comment.
I appreciate the generosity of @ecoinstant, @kalemandra, and @mariannewest. They sent SBD gifts to @blacklux to help out with her hurricane recovery. I can still match 42 -- 42! - more SBD, so let me know when you've made a transfer to @blacklux! I make my 1-for-1 match as soon as you let me know you helped out!
Beyond Steemit, I'm thankful for being in good health at the end of 2017. I know that's not the case for so many folks. I'm thankful I got to visit my family over Thanksgiving. And this may sound odd, but I'm thankful for my good garden soil, especially thinking about the upcoming gardening season!
If You Are New to the BLACKLUX Party
If you just arrived, you can get your party started with some Holiday Music That Will Get You Moving! Then you can grab some Holiday Cookies or stop by the Hors D'ouevres and Snack Buffet. Then swing on over the Party Bar - the drinks are free! There's a big table for Making Holiday Cards, while you Share Your Holiday Memories. You can join a group to Sing Christmas Carols, too. And then head over to the makeshift stage to the Holiday Poetry Slam and tell jokes at the Laugh-Off. If you work up an appetite, there's some good food at the Holiday Potluck Dinner. After that great meal, we're getting more laid back, listing to mellow acoustic and folk music.
Why We're Having a BLACKLUX Party
It's the season for holiday parties. Steemit needs a party! And hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated Puerto Rico. Our friend, @blacklux, is living through the mess -- still! You can read more about the party in the BLACKLUX Party Post No. 1. I hope you stop by @blacklux's blog, too, with some holiday cheer and upvotes!
