Thank you so much @maverickinvictus! And same to you...you are still up there on the list!

In the beginning of my time on steemit, I upvoted my posts and used upvoting bots occasionally, but then it felt like I was wrapping up a birthday present to give to myself. Absolutely no offence meant to anyone who uses either, I'm just saying if wasn't right for me. They are both legitimate tools to use though.

See you next week in the top 10 ;)

...how's that for encouragement?!
