I must say to all of you Much Love and Thanks for your support of my writing challenge. I have never given a contest or challenge and got this big or should monumental response. It's going to be hard because you all write so well. I wish I had a couple of thousand SBD right now so that I could award all of you first second and third place. But I will do my best, which does not speak fully to your gift. Know that if you continue to write in this way you will have your share of victories. Much love to you all. ~Ms. Ren

Hi Ren
I tried messaging you on discord but am having trouble sending messages, I have just realised you didn't get my last one.
I feel my entry here albeit hard earned is very much a token contribution of the limited mind set I have at the moment.
I would like to withdraw it from contention and rather contribute a further 10 SBD to the prize pool, for you to allocate as you see fit.
You have done an amazing job motivating people to dig deep, me included. The value I have from knowing you and learning from you is my prize.
Edit -
My entry is the first post I've done for 6 days, and someone has deemed it worthy of a follow and thus become my 1500 follower. That's nice. 10 SBD doesn't really do that sentiment justice either, but we do what we can with the best of intentions.
I have transferred to you. X

The main thing is for you to be at your best, pace yourself and feel good about eveything you do day to day. It is so important that we all take care of ourselves first then our families and then Steemit. You have already added to my life in more ways that so many I have known for many years have not. You are always in my thoughts and my heart, I think its that kindred spirit thing we have going on. You can withdraw your poem and apply again in the future. There will be so many other contests. Be at peace in knowing that you are awesome in a multitude of ways which make up who you are. I celebrate you. ~Ren.

I actually had fun constructing it this morning, I relinquished my ego and put a word puzzle together, it was theraputic.

You do have a curtain something to know about how I'm travelling without having to say to much.
Pacing is something I'm in the process of discovering. I am not good at it, and I am not dignified in a compromised state.
I hear your advice, which is uncannily on the mark.
Thanks.
