It's been a long break, but i am back! Life is starting to get back to normal.

in #introduceyourself4 years ago

So it's been a very long time, in fact my last post was October 2018!

After the loss of my son, life turned to hell and everything got put on hold whilst I pulled myself from the darkness of grief. Next Wednesday, I am due to take my last counselling session before being discharged and I cannot thank the Laura Group for the helpful support they have gave me and my partner, Jade, over the last 2 years.

I have been through some bad things in my life, but losing a child is something I hope to never experience again, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!

Since my last post, and my subsequent powering down of my Steemit account, lots of changes have happened in my life, we finally got our own rented property after a year of let downs and Dobby (the lurcher) has grown up and is the most lovable soft pooch I've ever known, apart from when he turns my trainers into flip flops or pulls the sofa cushions into absolute fluffy nightmares when we leave him alone (needy sod)...

Now that I'm back, I need to refresh myself on the formatting and editing of my posts, as well as get some of my latest explores uploaded for you all to enjoy. The new camera is a huge bonus and I am sure most of you will love the photo's I have taken since we last connected.

Until then, I will be catching up on what I have missed, people I lost touch with and also make some new connections. I was actually approached through Facebook, via a caving club page, after a Steemit user saw my posts and requested that I restart my Steemit adventures, so here I am!

Stay tuned for some epic and dangerous underground adventures!!!

Welcome back to the Steemit community @praada!
So here are 8 little things as a reminder for you.
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Eight suggestions to consider:
1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, keychain and steemconnect,
3. The master password is only used to reset compromised passwords,
4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and
be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own
.
6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
7. When you open your steemit.com, in the upper right corner of the page there are 3 bars. Click on those, and then on the "welcome", and you will get a lot of reading material that will help you.
8. Do NOT open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

I found you because @xcountytravelers and @brittandjosie from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Steemians available who can help you; you can click to go to the Steem Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Steeming!

Thank you, I remember all these rules (somehow), and if you look at my previous posts from the 2018, you will see that I take pride in my content and make it my own :) I had a lot of help before, but sadly, looks like a lot of my old connections have moved on from steemit, maybe the HF20 put many others off, I was going through a bad patch in life, which coincided with the HF20 update, so that is when i decided to call it a day.

I'm hoping I can get back into the swing of creating content and giving my viewers some exciting underground adventures :)
