On Silence and Stillness
Having been quiet for the last 15 days since my introduceyourself post, Only occasionally commenting and resteeming. I thought it would be good to leave a little something here with you wonderful people.
I am now on extended leave having ended a 6 year contract with a R&D organisation. I am still employed and Still under NDA for the next 90 (yes ninety) years, However I am now in the position to choose my next steps in life.
This weekend has been filled with sleeping, thinking and evaluating. I plan on spending quite a lot of time working on content for steemit in the coming weeks.
A deeper look at the coming blog subjects and projects awaiting me will be posted tomorrow. I will leave you with the important news that has arisen since i last posted and the below photograph.
One of my teachers from China contacted me with a English translation request regarding a book he has written, Titled :
The Treatment of Traumatic Injury with Chinese Herbal Medications, Massage and Acupuncture: General formula for Treatment of Hand-to-Hand Combat and Accidental injuries .
More on that Tomorrow.
Peace to all 190 of you !.

Glad to see you back!
I've been wondering if you would return or not.
great to hear that you plan on working on some content for Steemit!! I look forward to seeing your future posts :)
Thanks man.
i wasn't so sure myself. But it is still early days for this platform and it thought it would be stupid to abandon it with out giving it time and effort. Lot of work to do yet and skills to improve gradually. Especially my language and writing skills.
Hope you are doing well!
:) its exciting and daunting !. looking forward to getting peoples feed back and improving my writing/ language skills. being multilingual and Thinking in German or french while writing in English is difficult and disruptive, As the structures are much different. I'm sure i can fix that though!. Thanks for your support Hannah :)
all the best to you and your loved ones.

I'm doing so-so.
I've only been here since May. If you want to see if it's worth it or not, go look in my wallet.
90 years !!! Wow ... Looking forward to your read on Chinese herbs.
Life will allow you only so much, you just need to ride with it.
It's crazy, I will be long dead by then. It is one way for a Mega-Corp to protect their interests.
I am looking forward to working on it and getting back to my passions. The work i have had to do this last few years or so has been Very..Dry.
Yes sir, That is true on both counts.
I will take what comes my way and make the most of it.

STOPHi! I saw that you had upvoted one of my posts so I checked you out, liked what I saw and followed you. Welcome back to Steemit.
A year ago I thought I might be dying. I knew it had something to do with gallstones. Long story short, I took course of rso and went to see an acupuncturist. The guy was highly professional and amazing in general - he could even match my personality traits to my body shape etc. He told me a few things and I could not drink the disgusting herbal tea (as usual). A few weeks later I was BETTER. 100%. I learned that people should not have their gall bladders taken out, which is the conventional treatment, unless there is very good reason. Gallbladder surgery is worth trillions in the US. Hm - now I'm going to go and write a post about this :-) Steem on!
Wow @novaatebatman, I have just seen this post and looked in your wallet! You are doing something right :) I followed you. Steem on! I like your topics so please follow me, too if you like mine:
https://steemit.com/spirituality/@healingherb/old-norse-witches-and-initiation-rituals
I'm asking for the follow because I like your work. I like it here, too. I'm trying to build high quality followers for interest as well as money. :-)
Well, I just cashed out a nice sum, so my account value is about half what it was before I cashed out.
I'm trying to build decent followers as well. Problem is that lately I haven't been feeling terribly inspired, so I'm blogging like it's a blog. Which means little things about my life that are basically trash and not worth someone following.
Hopefully I'll be able to turn that around soon. I had a few really awesome posts that got completely lost when I tried to submit them. Feeling defeated, it kinda killed my motivation for a bit.
I have something I always do on Fridays, but I don't think I'll even do that today. Because last Friday no one came until two friends on here saw I had no requests, so I got two sympathy requests. Which really stung.
I'll give your stuff a look after I get a few things done this morning.
I feel the same. Let's have a think and see if we can get something together. I am devising a new colour challenge with someone. Let's see if collaboration works.....if we get any ideas we can get into the chat and discuss perhaps over weekend or when u r free :)
I'm pretty much always free. I prefer Discord though. Steemit.Chat is very unstable for me.
I can't do Discord for work-related reasons. I will see if I can sort it for the weekend :)
I'll see if Steemit.Chat will work for me. My Steemit.Chat handle is the same as this one.
I'll come and find you later :)
I was sleeping when you direct messaged me. I'm awake and on now.
Gimme 5 and I'll check if you're still there .
