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
Aah Aleksey, we were both so lucky to come across WOTW, hey? @calumam @scholaris and @nonsowrites are awesome. 100% agree with you on the POB and WOTW community and that weekly impetus to keep going. I am so pleased I came across you too. You're a wonderful soul with an incredible gift for writing. I look forward to many more weeks spent in all of your company. Happy New Year, my friend 💗💥🎆🎇

I agree with you on this point. Currently, I feel this way too. However, like you, I am not losing faith. I am optimistic that the new year will open new windows into the meaning words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs that we could share with the rest of the people here.
Happy new year to you sir
I think what we bring each new year is at the very least a changed perspective, even if it may seem slight to us on some issues, to that which we had the prior year, as we are all irrevocably changed by each event and experience in our lives. It is an effect of causality and a wheel that turns. Events happens, we experience them as impacts to our hearts and souls and minds. The dynamic interaction shifts little things inside of us and shapes our responses to similar issues the next time around. So we shape our environment and in turn, our environment shapes us. Non?
Hey, @samsmith1971, you made me remember this 👇👇👇
It's a cause and effect post written by @alekst7. When I saw the word, causality, it hit a nerve.
Thanks for reminding about the lessons I gained from reading that post.
Sincerely, everything you said here, is the summary of what @alekst7 said in that post. I'll leave you a link
Causality: Are We Cause Or Effect? (pob-wotw)
Brilliant! You see he has rubbed off on both of us...a lot haha. Subconsciously we both just knew hey Iska? 💗🙏
Thank you very much) Let's have faith in the new)
Yes, let's do that.
Wishing you a very happy new year friend. Enjoy the celebrations and hope to see you more active in 2020. Thanks for good vibes.

Дякую за згадку моєї скромної особистості! 😊😊
Також хочу подякувати за прекрасні дописи, які викликають бажання залишити коментар та поміркувати про важливі речі.
З Новим роком, що настав, та Різдвом, що наближається!
Happy New Year!!
I can wait till Word of the Week starts up again^~^
You chose some good words.
Do you think our suggested words will really become themes for the Wotw contest?;)
Pray do tell what secrets here lie hidden?🤣 How are you doing Aleksey? Hoping WOTW will be back next month lol ... in the meantime, do you fancy taking part in the final week of the Inkwell - Dreemport collaboration this week? Basically it's the Inkwell prompt which will be released this evening (like WOTW) and then you write your post and submit it to the Inkwell following their posting rules and on Thursday you drop your post URL into Dreemport for extra eyes on your content, after reading 5 randomly assigned short stories from the challenge and ranking them for us. A chance to awaken the creative spark on Hive before WOTW recommences? I can drop you the original Inkwell Dreemport collaboration kick off post which shows how to use Dreemport (super easy) ...if you're interested? !ALIVE We have had quite a few Inkwell writers give it a try over the past 2 weeks😊
Thank you for your attention) it's very nice that you remember me)).
Wasn't planning to participate in anything, but let's give it a try and see if I can)
!LOLZ
how to use dreemportInkwell prompt #48: Inheritance ... I can drop you the link for this week, later this eve or you can find it in the Inkwell community. You can post your short story in The Inkwell anytime this week but to take part in the Dreemport Challenge and earn tokens for your entry, get more eyes on your content in Dreemport and be ranked amongst other authors, you must submit your post URL to Dreemport on THURSDAY ...no sooner, no later...anytime between 4am UTC Thursday morning and Midnight UTC Thursday night. Catch you later. I think you'll enjoy these communities🤗 and I'll certainly enjoy reading you ❣️💥hey you :-) excellent... haha ... I'm Dreemport staff just for complete transparency sake. I don't gain anything financial from inviting you to try out the two communities...Inkwell and Dreemport ... just thought you'd enjoy it... entry for this challenge has to be a short story, not a discursive essay as it takes place in the Inkwell community. If it's any consolation I told Cal @calumam I was thinking of rounding up some of the WOTW community for the final week's challenge for this collaboration (given WOTW relaunch is a bit delayed) and he thought it was a fab idea hehe. May even be something you enjoy and want to add to your repertoire going forward !LOLZ. here's the link in the meantime. You'll love @dreemsteem and her community. There's a discord too. https://discord.gg/EyRU7V6. Here is the contest post from LAST week so you can get a feel of the requirement
I am very grateful to you for your courageous attempts to bring me back to creative life)), partly, you have succeeded)
But, unfortunately, the genre of the fiction story is clearly not my field, I do not have so rich and developed imagination and the ability to describe my fantasies to create such beautiful stories, which are so well received by you and other authors.
In any case, thank you for your attention and hospitality, I really appreciate it)
hi Aleksey, well you are welcome to create any posts you want PG13 hehe and drop them into Dreemport for extra eyes on your content. We would love to see you there❣️ Dreemport is not about any specific genre of writing but does focus on written element of posts so we see all sorts... your posts always have such a qualitative element to them and I think people like you set great bars for others and inspires them to improve their own writing. So I'd love to see you in there. And you'll earn dreem tokens too for each day that you submit.

That's what i think or else we wouldn't have been asked. Why do I feel like we are walking into an episode of POB SQUID?
