Gratitude —A Year Old On The Hive Blockchain! | Ladies Of Hive Community Contest #64
What Are You Most Grateful For Right Now?
Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happy New Year To You All! 🥂
At about 6am, I received a notification from @hivebuzz that today is my one year anniversary on the Hive blockchain! Woohoo! Okay, I knew it's today but the notification made it official for me and I reflected for some minutes on my journey so far.
Then the Ladies of Hive Community Contest #64 post dropped, I read through and knew this was the perfect platform to not only celebrate my anniversary but to participate in this contest and give some shoutouts to my amazing, special Hive friends and supporters!
I was brought up on the principle of expressing gratitude for even the tiniest favour done to me and the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson further lend support to this.
On reflection, my Hive journey has been an enlightening and fun one! This is because Hive is a community in which its value is obtained from the relationships we build here. No one can make it alone; we need each other. This is the reason I write this post to express my profound gratitude to all who have stood by me through this one year.
Towards the end of 2021, there were so many contests around the Blockchain such as Hive highlight, Snooks' My Hive Story...etc that would have preempted this post. It would be like beating a dead horse.
When the defunct Uptrennd showed signs of instability, @dreemsteem and @shadowspub (I call them my special ladies) encouraged some of us to join Hive so we could keep writing and not give up! Some accepted the invite, while some gave up. I'm glad I did not because writing had become a part of my life during the pandemic lockdowns and I did not know how else to live! Thank you both so much for your constant support. I'm super glad to be a part of the @DreemPort Teem!
Did you know there were days when I lacked the motivation to write? I'm glad that @shadowspub's Prompt-A-Day always came to my rescue! Thank you!
I cannot talk about my growth on Hive without mentioning @theterminal community that stood by me, guided and gave me a firm footing from the beginning. I had so many questions and was always running into the general chat room to ask. Thank you @thekittygirl, @wesphilibin and @stayten 😏 for always being there!
I love to tell stories. I never attempted fiction writing until I discovered crypto-blogging about a year and a half ago. When I joined Hive, the first community I searched for was fiction and found @theinkwell and interestingly it was moderated by an amazing woman, @jayna, whom I already engaged with on the defunct Uptrennd. I was excited and felt at home.
Thank you, The Inkwell team for your support and encouragement. Whenever I write my stories, I look forward to the comments which help to groom my writing! I hope to keep writing better.
Also, Ms @mariannewest's daily prompts and the Freewrite community helped to cultivate my love for fiction writing. Thank you!
My Fridays were kind of special because I looked forward to writing about my little shopping experience around some markets close to me and engaging with the charming @dswigle on the #MarketFriday community.
I love to visit her posts because she has a way with words that are smooth and inspiring. What's more, she's nice and charming. Oh, I already mentioned charming! 😄 I appreciate your support and look forward to participating more in the community this year.
My special thanks goes to @selfhelp4trolls, a kind and cool gentleman (I hope he agrees 😄) who I got to know through his posts and comment sections. I'd admired the way his mind works through his words for a while and when the opportunity opened up to be a part of his team, there was no hesitation. Thank you for your constant support. It means a lot to me.
I'll also like to express my appreciation to @johannpiber for her kind support. Your photography skills are superb! I always admire your pictures, they are a work of art.
To my dear Hive friend, @preets, thank you for always reading my stories and for your lovely, encouraging comments on them. Whenever I write a series, she urges me to finish it by posting the episodes on time! Nothing excites an artist more than appreciation of his art.
Special thanks to all my amazing DreemPort family, especially @esther-emmanuel, @kaerpediem, @kenechukwu97, @cescajove and @wrestlingdesires. Words are kind of insufficient to express my gratitude. 2022 is another chance to do great things!
It's always a delight to have @zuerich and @elizabeths14 visit my posts. Thank you immensely for your support.
Hive is a better place and a second home to me because I am surrounded by these amazing, special people and I daily look forward to engaging with you all. I dislike tagging people and I'm cringing as I do this 😅 but it's just for this post. Please bear with me.
This is my entry to the Ladies of Hive Community Contest #64. I invite @esther-emmanuel to participate.
Wow happy anniversary on hive to you . If one comes from a yorubaland they really appreciate people given thanks even for a little thing. I remember when I was small when I forgot to give thanks when i was given something my dad will collect it from me and immediately I quickly thank him and he did smile no hand it over to me. Yoruba will say when you give thanks for what you are given yesterday it will receive more. Happy anniversary once more.
Oh yes, Yoruba are very strict when it comes to expressing gratitude which is good way to live.
Thanks so much for the wishes. 🙂
It’s my pleasure coming around

Dreemie @kemmyb is a year old and I'm glad for you. Heheh.
I didn't know that @hivebuzz congratulates people about this. Mine was on 31st December and I will be writing about it, but I didn't get any notification from hivebuzz. Hehe. Seems like I've been wrong about my sign-up date 🤷🙆♂️.
Congoooooo Pongooooooooo to our Dreemie Kemmy.
You are doing well ooooooo.
You've achieved so much here.
Lol! You can't be wrong about your sign up date. Hivebuzz never misses an update, are you sure you have not gotten the notification? 🙆♀️😄
Thanks plenty for sticking by me and inspiring me on this journey. It has just began... 😉
Happy new year! We haff not greeted yet 😏
you do appear to be correct. I don't see a notification on your recent post for your 1 year anniversary but... wait for it...

there you go .. congratulations... PS.. i think you should vote for @arcange for witness but that's just my opinion :)
Wait for it...?
I can do that. Heheh. Thanks for looking at that for me. I will also download the image you added here so that I can use that for my post in, maybe, 48 hours time if I don't get a buzz.
Thanks tooo for the recommendation. I will check the witness voting section. Heheh.

I didn't have a celebration because I was on nightshift, but I don't mind, because some people might have to live three or four times to have as many parties as I have had in my life 😂

Hello @thekittygirl! I appreciate your support very much. The Terminal made it so easy for me to navigate Hive without unnecessary mistakes. And the staff are cordial and easy to talk to.
I wish you an amazing 2022! 🥂
Congrats on your first year on the chain! It sounds like you have an amazing support team in your corner, which is awesome! I know some of those that you mentioned, and I agree that they are awesome! Take care and have a wonderful day!
Indeed, Hive thrives on community and I'm thankful for these amazing people who support me.
Thank you so much for your visit and kind comment. 😊
You are most welcome!💜🤗
So good to see you still very active one year in. We couldn't lose a talented writer just because someone realized he was clueless how to run a crypto platform.
You were needed on Hive. Congratulations lady.
I know, right! 😅 He made quite a mess but in a way, it brought some of us here.
Thank you so much!
Wish you an amazing 2022! 🥂
his screwup is our win ... some of the best came over here to Hive.
Good news ... the spammers didn't follow LOL
😂😂 Oh no, the spammers dare not...they would be crushed here. That zone was their safe haven! 😃
for sure .. with a lacklustre effort by the guardians to contain them. The Warriors were making a dent until the Guardians came to the spammers rescue. I still wonder if some of the spammers were alts for Guardians.

Hello @dynamichivers! Indeed, spending the past one year on Hive positively changed my life and it just feels right to express my thanks to all those who have supported me.
Hehe, thanks for your heartwarming comment.
I appreciate your visit and support. You are amazing too!
Thank you for sharing your one-year Hive journey with us. Lots of cool things you've done so far. Congratulations on the first anniversary on Hive and I hope you all the best to the coming years.
Your one year on Hive is amazing. You're right! We need to be grateful to those who have always supported us. Thanks to their support, we have had more motivation and efforts to continue to experience and develop.
You really do have a lot you are grateful for. The ladies mentioned @dreemsteem , @shadowspub are inspirations to us all. I too am grateful to them because they have imparted so much to me too.
Lol Thank you for the wonderful compliment and for everything you do, but I wonder if you know how my mind works. This is the closest thing I can think of to how my mind works:
Wow, reading through your post, I was able to imagine how grateful you are most especially to those ladies who invited and encouraged you all to join Hive and I can say Hive is a blessing.
