Hi! Introducing Myself
I am a retired nurse and I spent most of my career working in geriatrics, and now I have arrived myself! I'm trying to learn to navigate through the foreign world of cryptocurrencies, and that is what has led me here to steemit. Having recently attended some bitcoin meetings in KCMO, a whole new world is opening up to me. I need your help as this is like a foreign language to me.
I grew up on a farm in Kansas, and I still call this state home. I grew up in a large family and lived in a stone house with stone fence posts surrounding our land. The farm was a wonderful place to grow up as a child. We raised all our own animals and grew our own vegetables. In todays world it would be labelled "free range, grass-fed, and organic," but we just called it "food." We worked and created our own entertainment. My grandparents were Germans from Russia and spoke German. I loved the special foods we ate that were unique to our culture. I wish more stories had been shared with us so I look forward to sharing some of my stories with you, from the past and also from the present.
I am married and have a son who is helping us out with our home and with anything that needs fixing. He is very patiently helping me navigate this new world! I am so grateful!
I find that now in my retirement I am back to enjoying the same things that I enjoyed as a child but didn't take time to do in my adult life. My faith has always been important to me and I love spending time with family and friends. I love reading and playing my accordion again. I play for residents in a retirement facility every week and it brings me as much joy as it gives them! I also love to travel and absolutely love walking on the beach!

Nice to meet you, @accord! Welcome to the Steemit Community, wish you good luck and a good start, ive send you a small tip and followed you, hope you have an amazing day! :)
Welcome :)!
Here a few tips for starters snce you probably won't get any advice from those who comment under here, here's what I gathered thus far.
It's tough to make money at first so if that's your main cause to be on here grind that into your head straight away, that doesn't mean you shouldn't post content, you should, but enganging with others in the comment sections to grow your following is your best bet. Which categories?
Probably the introduce yourself one and the photography section but you can choose things that you have knowledge about too and then go from there just know that there is a lot of crap on here so plowing through that just to connect with others can be tough. Cheers.
Welcome

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and time with us in your classes. This is like learning a foreign language to me! You have been patient and willing to teach me something new. It is important to keep learning at my age. Each time I absorb a little more information. Thanks for your encouragement!
