Awww this is such a great post Galen! First I am so happy that Faith is ok and the C word is out of the window, so happy for both of you I would just hug you hahahha. Indeed, a life without your loved one is a terrible thought. No point in thinking about that.
Gratitude is amazing. I do appreciate that you mentioned it. There are many great people on Hive and I am so happy I managed to remain on this platform and slowly show more of me and slowly see more of everyone else.
I am grateful for having this online community. It must sound like a cliche. But when I discovered Hive I was really going through a hard time. Few people maybe know it and remember it. But I am so grateful that I can wake up every morning and know that somewhere, in many corners of this Planet, some people actually care about what will Mary write. I feel humble and honoured, I was never the popular kid or with a bunch of friends. So now.... I feel like one of the cool kids on the Hive block. And I see many just like me. And it really motivated me to keep on going. I am grateful for the precise moment when Hive entered my life. So yup.
As a side note, I am also grateful I have managed to read some books on anger, forgiving, which made me reconsider my thinking patterns and become even better in choosing the right people to enter my life.
So many people fail to display gratitude; They may feel it but don't show it and that seems a bit odd to me.
I'm one who is happy to show it and say it. I think it's just as valuable to me personally as it is to the person I'm saying it to. I think it shows humility too, and I've found people respond to that.
Anyway, good to see hive is ticking some boxes.
You are a great guy. Legit as you would say hihi. I'm grateful to know you're one of my Hive friends. You're pretty awesome, next to all of my other Hive friends too.
Thanks Mary, I have my moments, good and bad I guess, like most. I try to be the best version of myself though and I reckon I'm ok mostly. A good friend, brother and husband. Some may disagree.
Yup, I can agree with you on this one. I'm not perfect either. I try to be a good person every day but I think we should also be aware of the fact that we can't please everybody and that some people might not like us. That's just life....
