Hi, Alive'ans

I went to bed yesterday (actually today :-) late and when I checked my notification inbox this morning, I saw so many replies. Thank you for all your comments and kind words. I have joined #alive recently. The reason was... probably the only such case here - I faced @flaxz in the quarterfinals of my @C/MAcFiT tournament (it's all about report cards posted from @actifit ). I did a research on my rival and found him being the chieftain of a tribe that turns out to be very close to my heart.

As I post daily on @actifit anyway, I thought I would make my updates more meaningful. I quickly upgraded myself from #IAmAliveChallenge to #AliveAndThriving. Yesterday was my high, but we do have lows as well (the day before yesterday, in my case). I think it's important to find a thing to cherish and be grateful for every day. As the wise King Solomon says:

A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
(Proverbs 17:22)

I'd like also to turn your attention to the topic of cohabitation between us and animals. My yesterday's morning walk was initially about me trying to win the Final. But as went upriver, my thoughts went towards the nature around me. We can happily live with beavers. They can be #AliveAndThriving right next to us

Thank you,
@merthin
