9 years and a few Waves

in Ecency26 days ago

Today is my 9 year Hiveversary! It hardly seems possible that it has been that long. It is also a bittersweet reminder that it has been that long since my dearest love died. I began exploring here to help alleviate the loneliness I was feeling without him.

My favorite part of being here has been the opportunity it has given me to make friends all around the world and see your photos and have glimpses into your lives. Each photo you have shared, food photos, your family, the streets of your city, your garden and the chickens in your backyard have allowed me to learn more about the world than buying a plane ticket and traveling to tourist sites ever could.

It has been a joy to be here and learn and watch my account grow while using the @ecency mobile app. Huge thanks to everyone who has guided me along the way. I joined with a group of people that I had known on the TSU platform that had gone defunct. We helped each other and quickly made new friends here. And I treasure each and everyone of you.

Since it would seem odd for me to create a post and not include photos, and since Waves has become one of the first places I go to each morning when I start my day... Here are a few Wave photos to remind you to join me there!

Come and enjoy Waves short content with me!

Happy 9th Hiveversary! It hardly seems possible that it’s been nine whole years.Your presence here has been such a steady source of inspiration for so many of us in the Ecency community.

Through your words, creativity, and the way you show up authentically, you’ve brightened feeds, lifted spirits, and reminded us what this platform can truly be about real human connection.

I know this anniversary also carries a bittersweet weight for you.My heart goes out to you as you remember your dearest love. Thank you for choosing to turn that ache into something that touches and encourages the rest of us. You’ve made Hive a warmer, more meaningful place.

Wishing you continued strength, joy in the little moments, and many more years of blooming here.
With admiration and gratitude,

Thank you for your kind words and for the sunflowers!
It's wonderful to have you as a friend!

Awww. I didn't know you're a true blue Hive member who didn't come from Steemit hardfork. Happy Hiveversary to you indeed!

Of course I started out on Steemit... and was happy to leave and begin Hive with all my friends!

Lol okay. 👍👍👍

Happy Anniversary, happy to have you here!

There is nowhere I would rather be!

It's a long journey that many younger one nowadays don't even have such tenure length holding on to a paid job

It is a really difficult time for young people. The world has become a hard place.

Congratulations to you. 9 years is indeed a huge time.
I hope we will have more 9 years to journey together.

I believe there will be many exciting times ahead as Hive continues to grow and evolve! I'm looking forward to being on that journey with you! 😘

Happy Anni @melinda010100. I can remember those Steemit days! 🙂

We have come so far since then! I'm looking forward to Good Times ahead.

Fingers crossed!

Congratulations on your 9th hivenevasry. It's indeed a great time spent and still making a full wave in the platform. Keep doing what you are doing, we appreciate your effort.

We are all building Hive together! Onward and Upward! 🔥

Congratulations milady and enjoy your great achievement. We wish you many more years to come.
Been a long road, and my 9th will be next month.

!PIZZA and !LUV

We have come a long way together and I
hope we both have many more years ahead of us! ❤️

Amen to that! :)

Congrats Melinda!! Mines coming up next month, what a blast we've been through!

We have come a long way! I still have the postcard you sent me back in those early days! Thanks for all you do to help Hive grow. ❤️

Likewise Melinda. I know many newbies have continued in Hive, and grown with your support and nurture ⭐

Happy 9th Hiveversary. Nine years, great achievement. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

❤️🌹

Happy anniversary, Mom. Your words are so warm and touching. From the loss you felt, you have found a new family here, sharing stories, laughter, and life's journey with many people from all over the world. I am so happy to have known you ♥️

Thanks for being my friend and for curating for Ecency and encouraging people on Waves! Im looking forward to more years here with you.

Amen, I hope your hopes can come true, Mom♥️

Congratulations, Melinda!

Nine years sounds a very long time... Unfortunately it also marks a painful event in your life. I'm pretty sure that you managed the best way dealing with the loneliness.
Thank you for bringing your personal life story and to share with us, Melinda.

Luckily I came across your community of Shadow Hunters, and I joined couple of times with some humble posts. Thank you for putting effort and to share your energy with the community.

Happy HiveAniversary!

Thanks for your kind words! You are always welcome to join us Shadow Hunting. I hope to see you there again.

As soon as I get inspired with a cool shadow photo, you bet that I will be joining in!
Have a great week, Melinda!

Happy 9th Hive anniversary! 🎂 Even though I’ve been here for a year or so, it wasn’t until you helped me that I began to realize where I’d ended up and what I could do here. 😎Thank you for showing us that even in our darkest moments, community, creativity, and kindness can slowly bring us back to life. Sending you a big virtual hug today. 💝

We have come a long way together! It is a pleasure to work along side you curating and troubleshooting for Ecency! All you do in the Shadow Hunters Community is invaluable and you bring the Archon Tribe to life. You have never turned down a single request from me, including traveling to Austria to go on stage and do a presentation about Ecency! Your contest ideas have brought so much value to our communities. I can't thank you enough for being such a Ecencial member of Hive!

Happy Hivesary @melinda010100. If there's one person that made Hive a beautiful experience for me that's you. You are a great source of inspiration and I count myself so blessed to have had the opportunity to know you and be a friend. May you have more anniversaries to come as you continue to inspire and encourage our Hive Community. God bless you more and always ♥️🙏❤️

I'm am so glad for the opportunity to know you and your lovely family! Knowing we read the same books to the children in our lives truly helps make this world a friendlier place for me! Thanks for your valuable contributions to SMASh!

Happy 9th Hive Anniversary, Melinda! It is a pleasure to knowing you and also, collaborating with you and Ecency in so many different ways...
You are one of the crucial parts on my Hive journey, and I would say on the journey of many... You have helped to many to find their way on HIVE, to grow, and to become better people... Including myself...

Thank you very much for everything you do! And for many anniversaries more! 🥂

Thanks for the kind words! I love knowing I can depend on you to be there helping Hive grow.

Feliz aniversario 🎂 en Ecency

Happy 9th year Hiveversary to you @melinda010100 , and more years to celebrate as Hivevians. Your love of your life is happy now watching you. Those love ones that pass away would also feel sad when they saw his beloved still sad or mourned for his loss. He is in a happy place now.
