Danng! When I saw that you had replied to my post in the notification, I paniced thinking this was the Global Hit Parade...

I am still very excited, I will have to find it but I think my last feature only brought me to second place - being mentioned for the second time, and twice - once for reaching the top.. I know there is potential that I will one day be within reach of being featured on Global.

I'm as excited as ever, always modest but actually very proud -- not that this is like winning a lotto or anything but I came in here blogging and thinking that my work would never get noticed by inititives like this.. so when it does get noticed, I tend to feel like clamming up LOL

 It was only the initial let down of realising it wasn't for the Global HP that tainted my celebration a bit.. I tainted it LOL

Mostly my fault for misunderstanding after my feature the first time - I thought you could only feature in Newcomer HP once, instead of the accurate rule which states you will become ineligible for Newcomer HP after your first feature in Global.

Thank you and thank you!  I won't count chickens prematurely anymore and will learn to assume nothing so that everything is a surprise.

I've been poking at this comment for awhile now and I'm torn because I should just bite my tongue and say thanks and move on but I'm always a stickler when it comes to describing how I feel under the skin.


I just hope it is far enough away to not get mistaken as ungrateful.

I'm ecstatic and do not understand how I earned this kind of supper especially as a newcomer, but I'll take it!

I'm curious to know who holds the record for the most paid out #introduceyourself post in STEEM history.. qualifying only those works which were made within the first year of the account being opened.
