Ah, thank you for catching that play on words, @litguru. It was intentional, so I am glad someone noticed. Very cool article. Thank you for sharing that! I had never read anything that explained the phenomenon

@itsostylish, my friend! Thank you for stopping by and for your lovely comment. I hesitated to post this because it's a bit more saccharine than what I usually write. But I love the idea that some sentiments

That really is an exceptional picture, even if it is some accident of the camera. I agree with you — it’s more fun to think of it as a different world. Congrats on capturing it!

I believe many trends come in waves, including massive socio-political trends, like we are experiencing now, with our society being so divided. It seems to me that in some way there is a division between

Glad to hear @mariannewest is taking some time off, and that she has friends to fill her shoes, @felt.buzz. I decided to join this one: Cheers!

I am forever amazed by your photography skills, @joanstewart! Also, the incredible natural wonders around you. We do not have wild monkeys in North America. Not fair! This is a truly lovely post. It made

That is very sad. I'm so sorry for your loss. I am a cat lover, and I dread anything happening to them. It is truly heartbreaking to say goodbye to a special pet.

Congratulations, @marynn, as well as @rammargarita and @ricardo993. It is always so fun to see how pleased our community members are when they achieve results and win prizes. You all work so hard!

This is wonderful @shanibeer. I wish I could attend! While it's not an astounding sum, writers can be reliably paid for their writing on Hive. That counts for something!

You are a NUT, and I love you. This got me giggling and I couldn't stop. Now give that sweet kitty a hug from aunt jayna.

Your imagination really blows my mind away, @lenaspiritual! And I love ghost stories. This ones is richly told, with many interesting twists and turns!

I have no trouble believing that your father's spirit came to you in your dream, @gracielaacevedo. There is so much that we don't know about the human spirit and how it endures past the time it is housed

Your approach to life and relationships and love is very mature, @smc.arike.oba. You deserve someone who takes that same approach. It really sounds to me like you did the right thing. You listened to your

Congrats! Loved your story, @deirdyweirdy. It had a very humorous and charming twist at the end! But oh... that trophy. Ouch!

It looks like a wonderful place to visit. I love all those pretty beach umbrellas!

We never stop needing and wanting that approval, do we? Your mother's negative reinforcement cracks me up. And it reminds me of my mother, although mine was essentially afraid of "spoiling" her

Love these photos! I am a huge fan of street photography, as well as monochrome… and fairs! Do you have trouble with people giving you the evil eye when you take their picture without their permission?

Looks like a great place to be! I love the close-up photos, especially the frog.

Life’s journey can leave us so raw at times! You describe it so well. How amazing that you had those two weeks of talking and reflecting to search deep inside yourself. A rare opportunity!

Have a lovely and well-deserved break, @dswigle! I’m sure some people will still do Market Friday posts. It can be hard to break the habit once you get into stride!
