The Idea of the Chronicles
...kinda started when our community advisor SilverScribe came up with the Memoir Mondays. A new topic/question every Monday for a whole year, and we all loved it so much that we've fallen into a kind of writer's block since the "end" of it. Not really, but still...
So what could be more obvious than to continue somehow? Something has to be done to tackle writer's block, or even the ‘all-time low’ at Hive...
The Silverators started brainstorming the hows and the whens to get an idea of what we could all share for the best of our community. To have a sort of "running gag" that never gets old.
In the synonyms for the word memoir, we can find - chronicle. Now, that was it.... our own chronicles! The Silverbloggers Chronicles! The place where we all keep our memories to share with the future. The library of a silly, wild bunch of Silvers. The Silvery Book of the Wise! Hehehe
We are all Winners!
... by supporting each other in the community, be it with an upvote, a tip or/and a kind comment...
We're not here to chase votes to try and benefit from the Vitamin Relation until there's a Lambo in sight...!
We feel this is the wrong way. A community should be there for one another, even if many individuals are conditioned differently. It's more about putting the ego-selfish-ego aside, because life is not about money, it's about joy/happiness. That everyone gets support for what they give to the community.
You may say it's good to have dreams? Yes, we live these dreams to achieve the best for everyone. Remember - joy/happiness?!
Why are we even writing about this while promoting the Chronicles for our community? It's to make us all realise that many members don't get high-profile support, but we can "help" ourselves. Also, to understand that the idea of a memoir library for future generations is not going to pave the way to that Lambo. It's about sharing viewpoints, knowledge, and the occasional good laugh. It's about individuals, nature, and happiness.
And as always, we continue to curate the pearls in our midst!
The SB-Chronicle Prompt #02
As with SilverScribe's #memoirmonday... we are going to be posting a question every Monday, prompting you to join in and write your own "Silverblogger" Chronicle for future generations to read!
On that note, here comes our second #sb-chronicles prompt with many others to follow. If you would like to suggest a next prompt yourself, please feel free to contact one of the "Silverators"!
What's one small, simple joy that consistently brightens your day, and why does it bring you happiness?
I am sure like most of us Silvers that this has changed throughout the years as our priorities in life have changed.
It could be that first sip of morning coffee or tot of morning whisky if you are in Scotland!
It could be your cat or dog's purr-fect head butt – an instant dose of painful unconditional love.
It might be spotting a robin or our other feathered friend in the garden.
It might be that quiet moment right after thebratskids or even grandkids are asleep – pure, peaceful bliss.
It might be popping in to the garden and plucking a perfectly ripe avocado – simple culinary contentment for those lucky enough to be somewhere warm.
It could be that feeling of warm sunshine on my face – a gentle hug and pick you up from nature.
It could be crossing off a to-do list item – a small victory is still a victory!
It might be a genuinely funny text from a friend – the one who is guaranteed to make you laugh.
It could be the smell of petrichor after a dry spell.
It might finding the perfect song to start off your day, dancing round the kitchen as you make breakfast.
It might be a hug from one you love.
Or it could be a slap from the one you love, hey you feel pain so at least you know you are alive!!!
The possibilities are endless....
Now, what about you... What's one small, simple joy that consistently brightens your day, and why does it bring you happiness?

And a big THANK YOU for your support
Tipping or delegating is a way to show that you appreciate the work . It works even after a contribution has gone through the seven days of voting, and thus the opportunity for gracious "giving" is over. Another plus - that way no one can ‘steal’ your given support, not even the often ego-selfish, pointless Down-Voters. We thank you for all the support you give, anywhere!
