Life changes for everyone as we get older. We fall into patterns that are sometimes just that. Not good or bad ones, just everyday life ones. You don't realize most of the time that you are in a pattern

It was 2 am. All my chores for the day were done. I needed to push myself into the wee hours of the night so I could rest on Sunday. I have a busy week with doctors' appointments for both my Mother and

Over the last few months, the Hive Discord server has been hopping with activity. Seeing all the Hiveians talking and exchanging ideas has been so much fun. As always, not everyone agrees with each other,

The year was 1988. It was May. I had just spent another restless night on the couch trying to sleep. My belly was so huge that to turn over, I had to stand up, grab my pillow, move it to the other end

Today, I faltered. I was angry. I am still angry. It's going to take me a bit to get over being angry. I should be angry at myself, but I'm not mature in my thinking at this precise moment. Right now,

Hive turns five, and what a wild ride it has been. In the Hive birthday post, they made a contest asking you to write about your favorite Hive project. A post like this seems a simple task. All you have

I look for the good in 2024. Usually, this would be easy for me, but this last year has been challenging. To write this post, I had to dig deep to find the positive highlights I had this last year involving

I joined the Blockchain on September 25, 2017, at 3:00pm CST. I had no idea what I was going to do here. I was told all my life I wasn't good at anything. I couldn't spell, which meant I couldn't write.

I heard a song tonight. The sound brought back memories of simpler times. Times spent riding in cars on hot summer days with windows rolled down to feel the warm breeze through your hair. The radio cranked

It's July. Last year in July, my world changed forever. What I thought would be a lot of work for a month turned into a year of Hell on Earth. I am getting less and less healthy. My body is breaking down

I was on edge. After two hours of sleep, I woke up feeling I should call my mother. I grabbed my phone and dialed. No one answered, and I remembered she was to see the Dentist that morning to get a tooth

The other night, I was minding my business and trying not to overthink. When I need to not think, I usually turn to YouTube and mindless videos. Over the last few months, I have watched many people build

Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your journey on the Hive platform? How did you first discover Hive, and what motivated you to become an active member of the community? I found a community online,

Faster than A Flying Squirrel Brisby's favorite photo from my trip. One of the many beautiful things about visiting people is eating food you do not normally eat. While at @Brisby's, I watched her make

The Ladies of Hive have a question of the week each week for the last 173 weeks. That sentence is mind-boggling; they should be given a prize just for that! Each week, I read the question, and most weeks,

January 26 through February 6, 2024 Ten days is a long time to go anywhere. It is a long time to visit someone. As it turns out, it was the perfect amount of time. During the first few days at @Brisby's

My Roommate January 25, 2024 I got to go to @Brisby's house. I needed to get away; I needed some time to do nothing. I know we all need that time. We all pray that someday life will slow down enough that

Hive is my happy place. I come here to write the stories floating in my head. Some of those stories are happy. Some make you think. Where have the stories gone? One might be thinking. It's been quiet here

Adrenaline. The quiet of the mind. So many thoughts tumbling around inside. Thoughts go fleeting by. You glance at each one, shaking your head. Each needs attention yet also energy. The energy which is
