Good evening peeps from Australia, I hope you're all having a wonderful night/day.
I recently wrote a post about the power of ecency and I want to delve a little deeper into it and use it to help some redfish and minnow.
I'm running an easy competition that I think will help everyone. I've been able to build up a few ecency points over the week and I want to use them in a meaningful way and not just power up my own post. I want to give back and ensure the points are not only benefiting me but others also.
First part to help you grow, make sure to upvote this post as I will call in the @ecency upvote feature so if you get in early, your vote will count and you will get a return in 7 days.
Second part of the contest is a comment contest.
I'll have enough to call in the ecency upvote for two comments in the thread.
I don't really have anything particularly too complex that I am looking for, I am wanting you to take the lead and provide a picture and a comment. Something meaningful, something funny, something about you. Anything really. I am not to fussed.
I want to see what the community can come up with.
Have a great night/day and can't wait to see what you come up with in the comments section below.
@ecency has kept me distracted when I needed it the nost as today I had an hemorrhoidectomy, at times I suffer from anxiety, so it helps to keep your mind busy with something else.
I have tried to correct the situation for quiet sometime using unguents, pills and more, unfortunately nothing worked. It got to stage 3 and have to be surgically removed. After waking up I felt no pain just discomfort, have been on liquids all day abd haven't been told when I'll be able to consume solid food again.
So far I feel no pain
Still got another procedure coming as I have to have a cataract removed from my left eye, I just hope it will be as well a painless and quick as this.
Other than that it is all good. I always count and focus on my blessings, it helps me stay mentally sane.
Estay save and enjoy life...

Hi @melbourneswest. I hope I'm not late. I upvoted this post hoping to return and write something about myself but got busy with work.
So, I'm a bit of a sweet tooth but not always. I bake too. A family friend brought some bananas to the house over the weekend.
I stuffed myself with some while I helped my aunt bake banana cakes. What a way to spend the weekend. I had to drag myself out of bed this morning to prepare for work.
I took one of the cakes to the office. Just had my break now and feasting on the cake. Yum! Scrolling through my phone I came upon your notification and quickly took a snapshot of the cake before I gulp it up! 😄
This is a brilliant initiative. Thank you for the mention. Well done sir.
You are not late :) we still have ecency points left. Thank you to @melinda010100 we still have plenty to give away.
Yummy! Banana cake. I make this quite often with Lil miss 4 as not to waste bananas. Looks absolutely delicious!

Hope I’m not too late - there is so much that I want to say and share, but last night when I read this post I was inspired just to tell you what I did for Super Bowl Sunday.
For Super Bowl Sunday I drove over to my moms house with a mission, the mission was to ask her how she felt in the late 80’s/early 90’s and what her reaction was to the advent of the World Wide Web.. the point was to gauge her anticipation/excitement at the time.
Well... it being some 30 years later her memory of her reaction was not what I was anticipating of like waiting for Christmas morning and opening that new piece of tech wrapped so nicely under the tree.
She just said she couldn’t remember.
So the next part of the mission was to tell her about web3.0, blockchain, and hive. I explained to her using the best of my abilities to explain these complex systems.
Long story short, as conversations about the news of the day (politics, religion, technology) tend to do, we went down many different rabbit holes
We talked for a good 4 hours and coulda made a great podcast.. only being interrupted intermittently by her new poodle who’s a ball of energy.
Those are some of the most enjoyable and productive conversations, where I try to explain/express highly complex topics with her, see what her concerns and opinions are, and help mold them into less of the radical right wing trump loving conservative, that she can tend to devolve into.
I love her so much, and I hope she can live to see the better future that I intend to bring about for the benefit of future generations, like my sisters daughter,her grandchild, and my niece.
I want to do as much work as possible,
Of making the path towards liberty, and decentralized government,
as smooth as possible, and that her learning curve can be as short as possible.
Nope definitely not late and haven't missed it. I still have ecency points so we're all good.
It's quite an interesting conversation, I'd anticipate that her response would have been much like the masses today. People just don't understand it. They aren't using it now so find it hard to conceptualise the benefits or changes in life.
Well done, keep a look out for the ecency upvote.
Yay! 🤗

I remember creating a motto for @ecency during the Christmas advent calendar and it won. See it below:
Motto: Ecency; A hive of activities... Discover it all and get rewarded for your contributions
So I decided to make a short poem today using every letter:
E - Ecency is my home, A
C - Cynosure buzzing with activities where
E - Everyone has a supportive audience.
N - Newbies are led by the hand as they
C - Come to discover their calibers while
Y - Yearning to grow their reputations and earn huge rewards.
Something you should know about me?
I love beach hats a lot. As an ambivert and lover of nature, I crave going to the beach and last year was the first time in a long while. I was invited to an African festival of games and I purchased one of these hats. I felt comfy wearing them because they shaded me from the sun and the aesthetic is something I admire. So, I would always accept this as a gift because it means a lot to me.
Something I worked on?
Here. I was bored and lonely this fine morning and I decided to try something new. Sketching came to mind and I said yes. I was making rounds with my pencil until I drew this. I was amazed and since then, I've not been able to limit myself to anything. I believe that I can achieve anything I want, provided that I keep my head up to never stop trying. I hope this meets someone that thinks less of himself. I hope you like my entry too. I would like to invite my fellow redfish @mahnoor1 to take part in this simple contest. Please join.
Have a lovely day ahead @melbourneswest
Wonderful! Awesome stuff. If the opportunity ever presents I'll know to provide you with a beach hat!
Thank you, dear friend. I'm glad that you like it all. I'm also glad that you have the thoughts to gift me something that I like if it were possible. That alone depicts your warmness and it's all that matters. Thanks so much
I have called in the ecency account, keep a look out for it :)
I sure will. Thanks!

Hello .. nice to greet you, thanks for the opportunity. Today I woke up nostalgic, seeing this painting that my nephew made me before he emigrated from the country. He says: I love you aunt. :(
Hola.. un gusto saludarlo, gracias por la oportunidad. Hoy amanecí nostálgica, viendo este cuadro que me hizo mi sobrino antes de el emigrar del país. Dice: te amo tía. :(
Awww that is so sweet. Must be so hard for you. Do you still remain connected and speak to him often? Where did he migrate too?
We are from Venezuela. He migrated to Houston (USA). It has been difficult for me because I saw it every day. Now we talk by video call at least once a week. Thank goodness for the technology.
Thank you very much for your empathy.
Yay! 🤗

Thanks a lot for the mention @melbourneswest. I was happy to meet this and I have made my entry. It was fun writing and putting pictures and I hope to read other comments. Good luck
Great idea! 👍 Many doesn't know but you can boost comments as well with Ecency points, still reviewed by our awesome curators!
Awesome work! Yes ecency is one of the leading dapps. I think if everyone knew about it they would be using it more often. It's fantastic.
I always forget to boost comments! I'll try to do that more often!
I SET MY MIND TO FLY, AND THIS WAS BORN
Good afternoon @melbourneswest, thanks for the opportunity, I want you to know this drawing.
With this image I made myself known on the #HIVE platform, it is the beginning of a new stage for me, since I had not drawn for a long time, and I wanted to do it again sharing with you this incredible art, in order to receive advice, criticism constructive and above all to know more artists who are in different parts of the world.
Let's find paper and pencil, and let imagination be born.
Awesome picture! Unfortunately the contest has closed please keep an eye out for the next round.

ENGAGEtokens.Hi @melbournewest, a big thanks for this opportunity and for the mention.
The picture below was taken last year during my Industrial Training Defense, the guy beside me is @bruno-kema.. and he was my defense partner. The day was hectic, running around to get our reports in order, and making sure all details were accurate.
The day was fun, though a bit stressful, but we enjoyed it as we met different students from different departments running their defense as well. we shared ideas on the best way to do the defense.
The defense was smooth and surprisingly fast. All our efforts paid off, and we came out successful.
This taught me that the value of team-work can never be underestimated or over emphasized. Since then i've been taken active part in works that require team efforts and it has been helpful to my career and personal development.
Specials to the sponsor of this initiative. God bless.
Thank you for sharing, the contest has closed but please keep an eye out for the next round and events.
