I must admit, there's been a couple of days here and there over the past 30 DAYS on the #IAmAliveChallenge where I have thought about slacking off, but in the end I can't.
I can't because of all of the friends that I have made around the world..👋
I can't because of the support from so many people within this community, such as @ErikGusstafson known as @flaxz who created this wonderful challenge to remind everyone that we still live, while so many others have suffered and died during the Corona chaos, but for me, not only to Covid19, but due to soooo many other issues around the world whether they be man made of 'natural' disasters.😥
And I can't because I'm not only a stubborn Scorpio Piggy and I want to make it to my first month and beyond....but I also can't because I'm a little bit addicted to the #HiveIsAlive- just a little bit....lol...🤣
And if you want to know more about the brilliant challenge and this great community that is growing with amazing and inspiring people very day, then check out Erik's original post here @flaxz/glmrrjya

Speaking of clicking, here's a photo that I took of a little duck that quacks not clicks- taken in the afternoon sun contemplating the watercolour painted water....
And the reason why I put up the little ducky here is because of the new photo/story competition in the #featheredFriends community by @melinda010100 , @melinda010100/feathered-friends-comment-contest-round-6- and here is my little entry so I hope that you enjoy it! 😊
Ah sir?
Commodore Dastardley Sir!
Yes Commander Donaldson?
Yes sir. Well sir, we caught these old ducks trying to escape!
Commodore Dastardley spun on his heels, eyes wide, fury crossing his face.
They will not be escaping- NO-ONE will be escaping on MY watch do you hear me officers?
I said DO YOU HEAR ME officers!
Sir Yes Sir!
Commander I want you and Flight Lieutenant Duckingbottam to escort this squadron to their quarters and they are not to leave until I say so!
Now take Sergeants Duckley and Ducksby with you and make sure that they guard the door until they get word from me and me only!
Do You hear me Officers! I said take them away and DO NOT LET THEM ESCAPE THIS TIME!
SIR, YES SIR chimed in the lower ranking officers as they saluted Commodore Dastardely, grabbed the prisoners and marched away with them.
They soon arrived at the holding cell, silence filling the air until the door slammed shut and Commander Donaldson and Flight Lieutenant Duckingbottam saluted them, turned on their feet and marched out.
Sergeants Duckley and Ducksby took their positions on each side of the door and stood stiff, the silence suddenly shattered by a cacophony of quacking sounds coming from inside the room.
Ducksby and Duckley hurriedly unlocked and opened the door to see white feathers flying everywhere.
Soon after, the sound of the alarm woke them, heads spinning as they got up from the floor and raced outside and looked up into the air to see the squadron flying away n their V pattern.
Well done Squadron Leader, that was a very well hatched escape plan.
Why thank you very much Wing Commander.
They don't call us the Magnificent Seven for nothing!
I hope that this gave you a giggle in a gaggle and it's all inspired by this photo below and you can join in too on the link above.

So even if you face is covered by a mask, don't forget to smile, not only does it make the other person feel nice, but it also makes you feel better too! 😀
And this is ChocolateScorpi out- smiling at you all from the other side of the world and hoping that you stay safe and well. 😀
