Every year, on December 31st, I take a moment to look back over the year, to remember and appreciate all the things that made it memorable.
Without a doubt, my discovery of Hive is the most significant event of the past year. Although I was once familiar with Steemit, Hive seemed much more interesting and appealing to me, so I decided to give it a try. At first, the results were marginal, and I was already thinking about quitting it all. And I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the Proof of Brain community.
The Word of the Week contest is by far the best thing that happened to me this year. I was truly happy every time I was awarded a win, and I remember that feeling for the rest of my life. It gave me incredible faith in myself and a desire to grow to meet such a high level of appreciation.
So I want to give a huge thank you and appreciation to @calumam and @sholaris for the support and appreciation of my art.
Thanks to @nonsowrites for reminding me of these beautiful moments)
I would also like to thank those who are close to me and with whom it is always a pleasure to communicate:
@samsmith1971 - for their constant attention and wonderful attitude;
@vikbuddy, @membesfun, @mineopoly - for always positive and good mood) nice words that inspire and motivate to be better;
@nazavzhdy for the thoroughness and wisdom of each message, which are very edifying;
@aiuna for a kindred spirit and pleasant companionship;
@merilin077, @sofs-su, @edystringz, @amyli33, @mmkel ,@merit.ahama and many others for attention, good attitude and kind words.
With each passing year it gets harder and harder to do what you do. It is more and more difficult to believe that someone needs it. It's harder and harder to find new words, new value, new meanings. It seems like everything has already been said, everything is known, and everything is clear.
So I look forward to the reopening of Word of the Week, and its unexpected and surprising themes that stimulate new research and creative efforts.
As time goes on, one becomes more and more appreciative of every year and every day lived. Especially when internal and external threats are increasing and the future is less and less certain. Long-term goal-setting in such an unstable environment is difficult, but my main hope remains the same - to believe that the New Year will be better than the one that is leaving. For me and for each of us, for all of us.
So in the New Year, I will simply try to get more pleasure and value out of each day I live and, if possible, bring more value to others. I want to wish all of you and your families good health, faith, hope, peace, financial well-being, new achievements and creative inspiration)
And may God help you!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!) Happy Holidays!) то
