(Translation: too long; didn't (don't want to) read.... It'll just take 5 minutes...
If you don't want to read too much, skip to the end and for the #bow winner and the new topic.
This week's contributions
Before I get to the entries, a word from the panel:
Again there were some super entries. There was a clear winner and we were unanimous about the top three and one which gets a special mention.
Do pop over and read the contributions.
Remember -
- you can find all the entries by putting #bow in the search bar on whichever of the Hive interfaces you use
- that even though payout dates may have gone, you can still comment and reward deserving posts by sending a tip
- From next week's competition, if you do not include the #bow, your entry will not be considered. Full instructions about how to enter, coming up towards the end of this post.
Embracing Silver: living, learning and making peace with Mondays
Like last time, our members contributions are as diverse as we all are. About life, its ups and downs, from hair to old dogs learning new tricks.
We particularly enjoyed @justclickindiva's life lessons about Mondays - I know her learnings (and advice) resonate for many - whether one's formally working or not!
The silver selection - the top 3
As I mentioned, it was not a difficult decision: here are the three shining contributions.
A life journey - before and after silver hair
Evgeny (@antikus369), in a long, and winding post takes us to places he's visited and to questions he's pondered. Some answers? Pop over and find out.
Forty is NOT old
Our resident senora renegade @carolynstahl ranted, understandably, how so many folk, when they reach forty, complain about how old they are. She observes how the younger set perceive anyone beyond a half century as virtually the living dead, but when challenged, would be hard pressed to keep up the her pace!
Blog of the Week: an old dog knucklehead learns new tricks
One of our resident funny men is this week's clear winner. He had the entire panel in fits of laughter about learning new tech related things, and specifically for posting on Hive. And, to boot, went and blamed it all on @riverflows! Mind you, if it were me, River, and this is the result, I'd take it!
So, @thebigsweed, congratulations and here's to you and continuing to learn - well into your dotage!
What @thebigsweed wins

Theme for the week ending 28 June 2021
The theme for the new week comes from panel member @ericvancewalton and is a question to ponder
"If you could go back in time and change one thing in your life, what would it be? "
Have fun!
