A lovely Monday to you, my steemain friends. It is a chilly day over here and it would seem that the rains are finally here. We, over at altruistic-steem, know that Monday can be a bit off after the fun and relaxation during the weekend and as a result we have decided to help lighten your mood.

First off, we are doing an altruistic community contest. We, as a community, believes in all the goodness and beauty that steemit can offer as a platform and how much each individual steemian can make another steemian’s life better.

So many of us have been blessed, both on and off steemit, since we became a part of the blockchain revolution. The blessings could be financial, knowledge, skill, connections, purpose, etc. These blessings have enabled us, given us a voice, sustained us financially and given us a purpose. What are we doing to show appreciation then? How are we utilizing this new found favor?

Well altruistic-steem would like you, both those of you who have been favored in the past as well as those of you who are yet to receive favor from anyone, which we sincerely doubt, to share with us how you have gone about paying it forward. Share with us on what help you have rendered lately, who you have helped, why you helped the person and how you helped the person.
