#### Amazingly I have been on Steem for two years today.
#### Amazingly I am still on Steem two years later.
#### Amazingly I had totally forgotten about this anniversary and was only reminded by @drakos's [post about the very same](https://steemit.com/palnet/@drakos/my-second-steem-anniversary).
--- --- These two years on Steem have definitely had a major impact on me. Almost, but probably not quite life-changing. I have definitely learnt a massive amount, done a ton of new things, and got to know a truck load of interesting people. --- --- There have been a whole bunch of highlights along the way... * Helping build the first Homesteaders and Preppers community on Steem * Reaching 60 rep on one amazing New Year's Eve, and becoming a dolphin around the same time * Setting up the A Dollar A Day charitable giving scheme * Raising over USD 5000 through A Dollar A Day * Working with Promo-Steem and becoming a Steem Ambassador * Organising the first SteemWales meetup * Being involved in Fundition * Becoming a show host on MSP Waves * Interviewing hundreds of steemians on my MSP shows, including @Ned and most of the Steemit Inc team, as well as most of the top witnesses * Hosting around a hundred shows, including My Life In 8 Songs, The Alternative Lifestyle Show, DO, the first SteemTank with @theycallmedan, and reaching a peak with the State of Steem Forums * Putting together 150 editions of the Steem Daily News and a whole bunch of other things that have slipped my mind for the moment. --- I have kept fairly busy while I have been on Steem. I have come up with a few ideas - some that have worked, others that haven't. But Steem is evolving with DApps of all shapes and sizes, and now new offshoots like PALnet.io appearing at an increasing pace. It is ever more difficult to keep up to date with what is going on. --- #### The Three Legged Dog

What comes next... I still gravitate to Steem every day. Although for domestic reasons I am not bouncing about quite as actively as I have done in the past. Taking a little breather and seeing what to pick up and what to put down. And still struggling with the conundrum of Steem ... Why have we got the best blockchain in town but still not batting with the big boys? Maybe we are like the three legged dog... --- --- [ image by @pennsif ]
