Happy Wednesday dear Hivers.
I hope we are all doing well.
Today, I am here with the story of my weekend. I was supposed to write this earlier but it is coming late because on Monday and Tuesday I had to write posts for two contests whose deadlies were on the head, and I can hardly write one post a day, so this post is coming late. Ta da! But as per the rules of community I can write any day of the week as far as it is about the weekend. It means I am not late. Lol.
Last weekend I wrote about A Mishaps Filled Weekend. It told about a series of mishaps I faced that day while this post is about a weakend that was filled with a series of joy. This is what we call time. It never remains same. It changes and changes with it the circumstances and happenings. The important is to let yourself down by the difficulties, and celebrate every bit of the goodies around. Good and bad, both pass away, so do with them what is the best for your well-being.
Well, on Friday I found out the reason behind this delegationLet me start the weekend story. Last Wednesday when I tap the ❤ button on a post I was shocked to see my voting power. It was 0.08. I wondered what has happened to my account. "Has the value of hive has touched two dollars or someone has delegated me a big hp?" I instantly jumped into my wallet and what I saw. 1000 hp were delegated to me by @whatamidoing. I have never accrossed with this user. I didn't know the reason behind this delegation. I wanted to thank him/her for this surprise so I tried to send a message via bee chat. Lol. But I couldn't figure out how to send a message. (Don't mind me, please. There are several things I still need to learn about Hive.). . The post by @starstrings01 revealed that I was the winner of last cross-cultural contest. I had not thought of it. It was a big surprise. This was the first time I won any contest on Hive. I want to take this opportunity to thank the contest organizers.
Thank you so much @starstrings01 and @whatamidoing for this kind support.
I had been lately telling @sofs-su that it seems difficult to win any contest among so many great content writers. She replied I will be winning soon, and here I was with the victory. I must say @sofs-su has always believed me more than myself. Lol. Though she has always been telling me to believe myself.
With this knowledge of winning the contest, it was the good start for the coming weekend, and the goodies extended to the Saturday. Early in the morning, I found out that was among the top five winners of #dreemportchallenge organized by @dreemport. Winning two contests in two days. Awesome!! In my four enteries, it was the first time I could appear in top 5.
On that day there was parents teacher meeting at the school of my younger son. Some joyful moments were also there for me. His teacher said that the boy is doing well. She has no complaints about him. He is intelligent and obedient, and does his work on time. It was all good to hear as I have been very worried about the studies of my elder son. The teacher also told about some activities that help building fine motor muscles (and thus in writing skills). She said give your child a sponge and let him dip it in water. Then ask him to press it. This dip and press activity is very helpful. I realized I can use it for my elder son as well who is not fond of writing and try to avoid it as much as he can.
The Sunday was busy, yet it went well without any mishaps 😂. On the Monday morning (ok, I know Monday is not included in the weekend but it was still Sunday in some parts of the world. Lol. Lame excuse!) I found out that I stood second in #pob-wotw contest. Woohoo! It was my 8th entry in the weekly contest and it was the first time I was in the top 2. This way it was a wonderful end of the previous week and an amazing start of the following week. I hope the blessings will continue to come.
Fingers crossed.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a blessed day.
I enjoyed reading a few of your posts today.
It seems that some of your posts have been doing great and some not so much.
I think this is because you are a good writer, but still relatively unknown. As such, it ends up being hit-or-miss, depending upon whether a given post happens to get noticed by someone able to give it a sizable upvote.
I teach Entrepreneurship at Oklahoma State University and some students and I have launched a new project (called Proof of Blind) to help good writers get recognized on Hive. The project just launched a couple days ago. Here is a post explaining the project in detail and here is a post explaining how to submit original content to be published via the project.
New accounts will initially be limited to one submission per week. However, accountholders who submit content that is well-regarded (i.e. gets heavily upvoted), will have their allowable submission frequency increased. As such, you might consider submitting your best unpublished work to the project this week and next (you cannot submit anything that has already been posted to Hive or published anywhere else), then decide whether you are better off using the project or not.
First of all, I want to thank you @trostparadox.pob for visiting my blogs and supporting my work. Your project seem to bring goodies to unknown authours. I looked into the post you shared. I will give them a thorough read again and then will submit something.
I want to invite some of my friends @ayesha-malik , @brightdavid , @mmykel . You may also be interested in the project by @trostparadox.pob
Just read about the project proofofblind.it seems to be interesting and exciting too.
But to my bad luck, I couldn't log in by using hive signer😒
Let's see if I will give it or try not but his words
It's make me crazy to be a part of this project lol😂
My hivesigner is also not working. I also have to resolve the issues. I hope we will get out of it.
You will eventually get better when you stop at nothing to give your best shots to whatever you are doing. Consistency pays.
Nice work here. I found this via @dreemport
No doubt. Consistency shows is result.
Thanks for stopping by @mrenglish
woo hoo...a fab weekend indeed👏Persistence, perseverance, effort does pay off. Well done. And really pleased you got some great feedback for your son.
Thanks ma'am @samsmith1971 . Sooner or later efforts really pay off
Oh, wow! Lots of congratulations are in order then. Hehehe! I know what you mean by it's difficult to win contests on Hive because the competition is always stiff. Also there are lots of amazing writers here.
Congrats dear and keep expressing yourself through writing. You will find your audience (as a user once advised me). 😊
Thanks for the advice and support @kemmyb .
Not only the competition is stiff but the organizers are also experts. But it helps us growing better each day
Congrats!! Great to hear you being so positive.
Yup believe in yourself.. a message I've given you since the first day I got to know you.
I know there is a lot more in you than you wish to believe.
Wish you loads of success.
Hmm I haven't seen the pob results lol need to look it up.
Thanks ma @sofs-su . Your trust in me means to me a lot.

I've always trusted in you.

Have a great day.

Thankfully your weekend remained free from mishaps. Sis, I also didn't know about the reason behind my hive powers unless I found the fact now lol 😁😂congrats for starting the journey of success, I am sure will be finding you along with the winners as you are the most engaged writer🤩👍
Lol. Don't tell me Ayesha. I was wondering how could I be the most engaged writer. I think there were lesser enteries that time . Whatever! It worked for me 😂.
Thanks for the good wishes. Good luck to you too 🤗
Congratulations on winning your contests. You must be a good writer. In the future when I have written more posts I will enter a contest.
