It is My 5th HIVE Birthday! What a date!

Earlier this month the @hivebuzz congratulated me with an event which is very special to me - I am on the HIVE blockchain for 5 years!

Time has being flying terribly fast when you are getting older, and I would probably not remember the date but we have a nice @hivebuzz who does not let us forget important moments 😁.

Thank you @hivebuzz ❤️ for reminding me about this Special Day!

My life in HIVE started in Cyprus when I was on holiday.

My landlady there, Christine @pandamama , persuaded me to start blogging. I still remember how hard it was for her to do that. Just read my words written on my second HIVE anniversary - it is what I felt then and what I have been feeling duering all these years I am a part of the HIVE community:

I was sure that it was not for me - what to write? how can I make my posts interesting? and one more important thing - where to get the time for this? Thank you my dear friend Christine @pandamama ❤️ for being so argumentative and persistent! You kindly explained me the ABCs of the platform and yes, you were absolutely right when you told me that HIVE will become a part of my life.

And yes, it DID make my life more interesting even though I do not publish many posts.

I want to share one of my early posts with you. This story actually became a trigger which made me register on the platform.

A Small Piece of Mirracle in our Lives

Before it happend to us with Christine, I was sure that nothing interesting may be in my life which is worth to write about.The story above was a signal to me that I can start writing posts.

I am still convinced that what you write should be interesting or useful for others to read and spend too much time on creating posts. That is why I rarely publish anything.

Here are some more links to some my very first-year-in-hive posts. Maybe, they can be interesting to some the readers of this post:

I started participating in different contests which are on the platform for any taste.

A then I discovered for myself the #ShadowHunting community with its fabulous contests for Shadow and Reflection Hunters. Thank you dear ladies - @melinda010100 ❤️ and @annephilbrick ❤️ for the honour and trust when you invited me to host the Reflection Hunters contest, Thank you @seckorama ❤️ for your help when I needed it.
I am very happy to be a part of the family of the community and use this chance to send my love to all my HIVE friends.

My special hello to @qwerrie and @alexanderfluke from the Russian community for their suggestions and support when I was an absolutely confused novice. I still hope that the community will rise from the ashes.
