Fruchocs are my favourite chocolate...That's a lie, chocolate is my favourite chocolate...All of it. I like me some Fruchocs though. So bloody GOOD!
Taking a break ok, especially if you have other things to do. It's a personal thing and it's ok to do as you please. I'm glad you dropped in and said hi though.
I like the lunch box idea...An outlay for the item at first, but savings made later. I have a fridge/freezed on board my 4x4 at all times. Here in Aus keeping things cold is more important than hot. I wouldn't be without it. 60L capacity so fits loads of stuff for when we travel and I use it day to day.
re: fridge/freezer
Nice!
In my case, it's more about eating a hot meal rather than eating something refrigerated. I took a peanut butter sandwich each day for a few weeks, but then decided I needed a tad bit more variety. :)
re: break
I guess I'm getting at the fact that it wasn't planned, wasn't really wanting to do it, it just happened, and rather than sitting around feeling unproductive (and somewhat unwanted and/or "what's the point"), I happened to find/be given other things to do. :)
re: chocolate
It's hard to beat chocolate if you like chocolate. :) Which I certainly do.
I've never taken a break...I think I've posted every single day since I started although there could be one or two I didn't. I guess I've never felt the need and always seemed to find myself in a position to be able throw up a post. You mentioned unwanted...I'm not sure what you mean here...Unwanted by the community? I'm sure that's not the case mate, if indeed that's what you mean by the use of that word. Still, as I said before, it's all a personal thing and sometimes we feel things that others don't. I get it.
Hive can be tough...A little like life itself I guess. Staying motivated or productive can be difficult although often our own idea of motivated of productive isn't the same as someone else's and when we feel it in ourselves we think others feel it about is in turn...Which may not be the case. I guess just do what you feel is right for you Glen, but always feel welcome to drop a comment on my posts mate, I don't care what it is...Just connecting with others can be so beneficial for all parties.
Well, thank you. That's all very appreciated. I've been around the block a time or two so it's not really sour grapes or feeling put out or put upon. It's more of the fact that I've gone through waves of 'followers' or 'friends' here who have disappeared or moved on to some other aspect of HIVE and so I'm constantly starting over in that respect—there are still a few that are about, and you and a few others from the next to last wave are still around, but anyway. I keep building up engagement, the tide comes in, and the next thing I know, I'm back at it again. It gets tiresome. I'm not as prolific as some, but I feel I'm more consistent than others, and I don't tend to short form, so it takes time to put together a post, and if I feel like I'm starting over constantly with gathering a following of some sort, well, anyway, it goes against the grain.
As far as the break, I'm trying to say I didn't want to do it, or even felt the need to do it, it just happened, and fighting against it made it worse. So, eventually I just went with it and felt much better for it. I used to have all day to do this, now I don't. Such is life and that's okay. Better to have the income while the real world is still in fiat rather than not and hope for the crypto rush to appear.
So, anyway. I think I'm coming out of it a bit, which is good, and maybe we'll get some upward movement on prices instead of the eternal sideways cycle we seem to be in still.
Ok ok, I get it...Yes I have felt the same at times as some really cool people have disappeared for whatever reason. I guess for me I've made it about me (selfish?) meaning that I enjoy the process, the writing and how it makes me laugh sometimes, cry, happy, sad etc. I use it as a yardstick measurement so to speak, a way to measure or temper my thoughts, feelings or emotions. Do I have anything of value to add to the community? I have no clue...Only the community can decide that, but to me what i do here has personal value, and that's why I stay around.
That break came organically Glen, roll with it, as you have, and see where it leads. Back here? Maybe...Somewhere else? Who knows. Just be you mate, that's all you can ask of yourself.
P.s. Some upward movement on price would be nice too.
