It's been a week, a pretty good one for me, but challenging as always. Finding the time to fit everything in can be difficult and for me, well, I need to feel productive, on top of my game and that I'm doing what's required to move forward. I hope you've had a productive week and are looking forward to the weekend. I'm off to the countryside to visit an open garden, a private garden open for the public on one single day a year...if I get any decent photos I'll crack out a post for y'all. In the meantime, as always...

I'm here with some writing suggestions for the #weekend-engagement concept in case you are looking for something to post about over the weekend. I'll wrap up the weekend on Monday with my highlights post - follow the guidelines to be eligible. Post in the WEEKEND EXPERIENCES Community.

It's a spring day here, so how fitting that you are going to see them flowers! Hope you get some good shots.
Interesting choices for the topics this week, all very thought-provoking. Probably going to get some good pics!

I'm looking forward to Sunday, it's just under a couple hundred kilometres to drive there but I like driving and with the temperature looking to be 24-25 and sunny...what's not to like. I'm not sure on the photos but I hope to get a handful, we'll see.

The topics, yeah a little different this weekend, let's see what people produce.

What do you have going on for the weekend?

Thats cool - nice weather for a day trip!

I don't have any solid plans this weekend. It's also going to be quite rainy. We're supposed to go for a hike tomorrow afternoon, so we'll see if we can steel some sunny moments outside. Otherwise, just chilling out with boss and the man slave!

Chillin' and getting bosses around, and biasing around slave-man seems a legit weekend to me.

Fo sho! I did some hard training this week and want to relax a bit. Will do some stretching, though! Need also have less screen time - getting lots of headaches!

This is the dream!

Oh yeah, I want to be a cat too! Mine, Cleo, lives a life of pampering and luxury. But I don't mind her being a princess, she makes me so happy.

She stretches too, then falls back to sleep. 😋

Have a good one.

oooooh so you a (s)cat man - peee pap por parap lol could not help myself!

Real-life topics, of which many I have already lived, starting with life, on the way with this new commitment Galen #169 by the way this number brings them lol...😊

I'm glad you relate to some of the topics, and hope you have a good weekend also.

Thank you so much Galen, the same to you my friend.🌴

Those are some good topics this week. Interesting stuff for sure. You might get some NSFW answers on some of those! I hope you have a great weekend!

I add an odd one in now and then in the hope that someone is brave enough to tackle it. I once did a topic in which I made people use the title, I'm a hive scammer as their post title...several people did it. 🤣

There were other topics to choose from but they chose that one...hmm, okay. 😵‍💫

Have a great weekend.

Yeah, that would be pretty ballsy I think!

They did it though, I was fucken kaking myself. Also, there's some great entries this week for that nude topic now...Really good ones.

Haha!

Hello! I will be waiting for your publication and photos of the open garden, I hope you can do it. It seems like a unique and wonderful experience 🥰

And once again thank you for the topics 🙌🏻 I'm not sure which one I'll choose yet 🤔 I'll let my inspiration guide me ✨ Happy weekend!

It's a reasonably long drive out there but I'm looking forward to it and really hope it's a nice garden and I'm able to get a few decent photos for a post. There's a couple other things out there I'm hoping to photograph too so we'll see how it goes.

I hope you have a nice weekend also.

Hopefully it will be worth it 🥰 You always take great quality photos 🙌🏻 Photography has always caught my attention, and I really enjoy seeing photos of nature!

Thank you 🤗

You're kind, thank you. 😀

My week has also been challenging, but it's over and now it's time to make the weekend the best it can be!

Me gustan dos referidos al primer tema y ademas el ultimo.... cual eligire? No lo se.... lo consultare con mi otra yo jajaja

Great tracks Galen, very very good! Thank you very much!

Have a great weekend! May it be full of colour!

Hopefully there's a topic you relate to, if not that's ok though, just skip it.

Have a great weekend, I'm sure I'll run into you around Hive.

Omit is not among my words hahaha I'll be there!😀

Hugs Galen!

I might just skip the one on the nude photography topic. Nobody needs my photos for that. People will end up with eating disorders. 😀 Looking forward to taking some time this weekend to putting something together and seeing what others do.

Have a good one.

Yeah, I figure most will skip that one, but I like to throw one of those in there now and then...I've done it before thinking no one will answer it and...they do. I often get some amusement out if it.

Have a good weekend man.

Happy and productive weekend to all of us @galenkp looking forward to your nice garden to share.

Hello, I hope you're well and have a good weekend.

Lol, you remembered about the garden huh? I'm doing that post on Sunday, about planning some things.

Yes, thank you @galenkp have a nice weekend too.

Yes, I was remembered your previous post of a nice garden which I amaze and I want that I can have too.

Like it is my practice to go in my garden and always cleaning the Bermuda grass.
Many falling leaves coming from the fruit trees. Oh much work me today. But I am happy because it a part of exercise.

It's enjoyable to spend time in the garden I think, and even just planting some new vegetables the other day was good. Anyway, good luck with your own garden and I hope you have a nice weekend.

Yes, it is true, but I am busy for some other days I am working from Monday to Friday it little bit busy...

Thank you for your time galankp.

It's good to be productive during the week and on the weekend to do more enjoyable things. 😀

Glad you had a good week Bro @galenkp As always good topics for this weekend. Personally I am marked by one in particular "talking to animals" I have always been intrigued by the question "how do pets think? it would be so much fun to be able to have a fluent conversation in words with our pets.

I was hoping someone would do that topic, I think there's a lot that could be done with it from a creativity perspective.

Knowledge, power, character and respect. Very well mixed this quartet in a very wise phrase, applause for Bruce Lee.

My week has sucked, mainly because my boss is away and I've had to take on all the responsibility that goes with it. Right now I'm sitting in a police station because there was a robbery at my work yesterday and I have to make a report and I have to wait for someone who hasn't arrived yet? Anyway, the rest of the weekend is promising.

In the meantime I'm going to switch off the plot and start writing my participation for this weekend.

Thanks for making our lives enjoyable with these wonderful, fun and challenging topics. 🙏

Sorry work was a pain in the ass last week, hopefully the coming week is much better.

All the best at the police station, I hope you manage to get it done quickly and get to spend some time with your family.

Thank you very much. Let's see how this all ends and at what time. I've even been taken for a ride in a patrol car to the scene. OMG! This is definitely a great weekend experience.

A ride in a cop car? I hope they put the lights and sirens in for you!

I was left wishing they would turn on the siren. I think they were low on fuel and the battery wasn't enough for that. I finished very late, I'm exhausted. I got home and had to get things ready because my son starts school tomorrow. I'm in slow motion at this hour. 🥴

Late nights and early mornings are not fun. All the best for your son's first day at school though, that's exciting.

"A garden that can only be visited one day a year": it sounds tempting to visit it. Perhaps because scarce things look even more valuable, we tend to ignore the everyday. In any case, judging by the presentation photo it seems like a place that houses wonders.
The proposed topics sound interesting and prompt reflection. They are a challenge for those who publish for the first time in this community.

I'll do a post in the next several days about that garden I visited today, it was worth the drive out there, some 300 kilometres in all.

All the best.

Thanks for your regards. I think that experience was interesting. I Will be waiting the story.

I saw it and responded. I'd have sent it to curangel but it already had solid rewards on it so I can't. A great post. You've not been around for a while and this one is a great post to come back with!

Great! I read about the topic of animals, and it was obvious to me that I had to participate. Here's the link to my post:
https://peakd.com/hive-168869/@jcchelme/week-169-what-would-you-do-if-you-discover-you-can-talk-to-and-understand-animals

I have a question: if we don't have our own images because we can't always take pictures of everything, what can we do?

Use any image you have, it's not about matching the image to the post, more about showing the personality to use your own images.

All the topics are great, well, actually some of them are a bit difficult for me, especially the one about being a nude model, I don't really like it, although in the past I earned money giving massages, it's the closest thing to being a nude model, ha ha ha.

Always your opening sentences are accompanied by a great writer, but today you break it with a person, which I admire a lot since my childhood, and honestly it was not because of what he wrote, it was because of how he fought to defend something or someone.

Choose the topic that works for you, o can't please everyone all if the time right? If none appeal to you it's ok to skip it all together as I don't want people to be doing things they're not fully engaged with. If you don't like any topics, maybe do a post on Blurt, I heard you're also posting there so maybe a good option.

Either way, I hope you have a good weekend.

The days are passing in a hurry, it's Friday again, I think my clock is not working well hehehehe.
These topics look good, I'm going to browse a bit what the bloggers have to say here, in the afternoon I'll make some popcorn and read.

Yep, time flies, they say.

I hope you have a good weekend. ✅

These topics are really amazing, let me go for 1 then. Thanks for making it easier and simple for us

No worries, have a great weekend.

Some great ideas there. I look forward to reading some of the answers.

Have a good weekend, man!

Have a great weekend too mate, all the best.

Thanks for sharing this content

Ok.

Weekends are going like butterfly flies. May be it's due to my busy schedule. My daily routine is stuffed these days and I think due that reason I am not properly aware that weekend has arrived.
Another weekend with Weekend-Engagement topics.✨

Well, you know now, thanks to the #weekend-engagement post and hopefully you can turn it into a good weekend.

Happy weekend along with the new month.
Will be giving my best on one of these topics.
Regards

No worries, yeah a new month huh? 2023 is almost over.

Happy weekend.

Yup. One more month leading towards our end.lol

We have Christmas decorations in the stores now, it happens earlier and earlier each year.

Hey, i love to see christmas decorations. Eventhough it is not our religious event but i think it is ok to see the decorations.
Do you celebrate christmas?

I'm non-religious, which means I don't celebrate anything for religious reasons, but I like Christmas time as I get to hand out some gifts for no real reason and spend quality time with people I value. I have beliefs, I just don't need a focus for them. But yeah, I like Christmas and even went to midnight mass with a girl I once knew...more to impress the girl than for any religious reason.

Okie. I think all guys are the same, like i also do many stuff on some ocassions which is more related to impress girls than to that special event. Lol

Hello.
This is my entry for this weekend:
What would you do if...You were told you had twelve months to live. https://peakd.com/hive-168869/@duskobgd/the-last-12-months

I saw it, thanks.

By the way, I had a client called Dusko once, a really good dude...Maybe the name Dusko and good dude's just go together. 😀

The root of the name Dusko in my language (another variant is the name Dusan, a much more common name in my area) is soul. I think the name is widespread in the countries in the Balkan...
Whoever is a soul by name is certainly such a person :-)
So yes, that client of yours must have been a great person too (like me :-) )

All Dusko's are great it seems! 😀

Happy Friday! 😃 It's great to read that your week has been productive. My days have been pretty hectic too, but everything is taking shape and that makes me feel satisfied 🤗

There are several things in life (and people) that I would like to understand better. I think sometimes we are complex or choose to be.

The weekend is here, so let's hope it's less complex and more relaxing!

Have a good one.

Well, you're absolutely right, my friend 😅 Thank you very much! And I wish the same for you 😃

ready for topics, thanks bro

Excellent, I hope you have a good weekend too.

every topic is interesting, I always wait for the weekend to write the contest that you hold, I really enjoy every contest theme above 😁

Normally you ask for submissions to be accompanied by author's own photos, I'm glad that isn't a requirement this time...

Not this week, but soon it'll be a requirement.

Ok cool, just remember I'm moving this concept away from stock images soon so you'll have to use your own photos. Just a reminder.

Ok, cool.

Very interesting topics. I hope i will have time to join with my post.

It runs until Monday so maybe you'll find the time

All the best.

I will try it @galenkp

You need to check your tag and comply with the guidelines.

You got me thinking @galenkp , how I should organize my life before I go to another plane; here I comment what went through my mind :

https://ecency.com/created/hive-168869

Best regards and happy weekend.

It's worth thinking about.

Have a good weekend.

Excellent evening, very nice and funny questions to start a good weekend. My participation of the week

https://peakd.com/hive-168869/@mercmarg/weekend-engagement-topics-week-169talk-to-and-understand-animals

You didn't follow the rules.

These are interesting topics, and I would love to respond to one on them. Let's see if I can come up with something.

No worries, if you get time that'll be great, I think you study, or have lectures on the weekends right? Make sure that comes first. :)

Yes, I'm in school already and we have tests to do today. If I can, I will draft something later at midnight 🙂
Thank you!

Here is my entry for this week.

Happy beautiful weekend to you

https://peakd.com/hive-168869/@eliany/weekend-engagement-topics-week-169--a-long-term-affair

Cool.

Hello team, landing in these spaces, only 12 months of life to continue enjoying

https://hive.blog/hive-168869/@lisfabian/twelve-months-of-life-to-continue-to-enjoy-to-the-fullest

Cheers, I'll have a look later. (There's no team, just me). Lol.

I am referring to all of us who join weekly in this wonderful weekend sharing, my friend. I include you, I include me and I include everyone, we are a team!

Lol...yeah, I know, I was being snide.

Ha,ha,ha,ha you are something special ha,ha,ha,ha. I love you. Those of us who have a syndrome don't understand sarcasm

Yeah, I'm sorry, being Australian means I can be sarcastic at times...I often write things and post them without even thinking that the person reading it may not understand that and that what I've written is sarcasm. All good, we cleared it up. 😁

Greetings. Thank you very much for the topics, I would like to understand many things better, here I comment one of them. Happy weekend dear friend @galenkp .

https://peakd.com/hive-168869/@irvinc/why-does-evil-exist

Really, just for one single day in a whole year?

One weekend...It's a private garden, someone's house.
