My Personal 2017 Top 5
I was introduced to Steemit by my son the end of June 2017. I was kind of slow to really get my feet wet. I know that I have only a short time here, but I have 5 posts from my first six months on the platform that I'm happy with and I hope people would enjoy reading or rereading.
So here goes:
1. 5 Minute Freewrite - Prompt: My Shoe Got Stuck In The Mud
I remember, oh so vividly, the day that that my shoe got stuck in the mud.
My Dad, my uncle and me had gone to my Grandpa's farm to cut down a Christmas tree. It had been cold and snowy in the days before, but today the temperatures were a bit above freezing and things were a bit mucky in the barnyard.

2. Freewrite – You’re Still Alive But I Mourn Your Loss
Toni, short for Antoinette, was sitting at home nursing little Katie and watching Joey playing with his Duplo blocks in front of the Christmas tree. She had been waiting all day for Serge to return from his errands.
He had left their tiny house really early. Said he’d only be a few hours. Breakfast was left cold on the table. Lunch had come and gone and now dinner was becoming a dried up plate of uneaten food sitting on the kitchen counter.

3. Tsunami Alert! Panic time on the homestead!
When you homestead on the Pacific Ring of Fire, you expect and prepare for the occurrence of natural disasters. It comes with the territory.
There is always a chance of the nearest volcano erupting causing evacuation due to drifting ash cloud. We live approximately 40 km from an active volcano, one of 9 in the country. Far enough away we would hope from any potential lava flow.

4. Air-Clinic Writing Contest #1 Cancer A Dangerous Scourge
Cancer. The scourge of the modern world. It has wound its tentacles around many people. This insidious disease is indiscriminate. It knows no bounds. It attacks all races, creeds and age groups. No one is immune to its deadly embrace. You would be hard pressed to find anyone whose life has not been touched by cancer. Many people have valiantly fought but have lost the battle.

5. A day in the Life of @cecicastor
Good morning folks! I thought now that the holidays are over (for me at least), I should get of my derrière an get some work done. So today, I invite you to spend a day with me on the topical homestead of Quinta David. Be forewarned, my days are long…
It’s 3 am and I awake to the sound of the surf pounding on the shore. The ocean is wild and woolly this morning. Tide is in. I get dressed quickly this morning. It’s cold in the house. Mistake. I looked at the thermometer, only 18 degrees Celsius! No wonder I feel cold.
