I just read my own profile, or part of it--it's painful to look at it. When I started on here 10 years ago I did not know what to expect, nor how to navigate anything. Boy have I learned a lot, but along the way I have forgotten much of what I have learned.
One thin I haven't learned a lick of is consistency. I am still searching for "My way" withing wikkitree, and a way that fits in with the wikki way.
10 years, and you would think I would already have a set pattern of how to do everything. I could just follow all the guidelines. Don't laugh as loud as I am laughing at myself. But it is good we have rules and guidlines, it gives me a lot to question. I try not to break a rule, but I often stretch it out at times I must admit.
But I love being here. I love that it is free. and I am finding out that once I create a profile that name seems to come up high on a google search. To all the rest of you, trust that you are really doing something valuable.
But you know that as well as I do. Now, can I make it another 10 years? Time goes by so fast, even for someone who almost lives 200 or more years in the past, in let's say, the Kingdom of Hannover, or Brunswick-Lüneburg and the Holy Roman Empire.
That's a lot of words for someone that just wanted to say thanks to all wikkitreers, this is a great place to rest your feet.
