HAPPY BIRTHDAY HIVE - 3 WONDERFUL YEARS WITH YOU
With my daughter Eden
With my son Lee
June 6 - 2017 my son Jack invited me to join Hive (then known as Steem) and I can honestly say that blogging on this program changed my life.
Much in the same way as we wonder what we ever did without cellphones, I cannot imagine my life without Hive
Six years ago I wrote my first blog for Steemit,

5 years ago - age 67 -I did my first online trade and wrote a blog about it

Over that period of time I had so much fun, joining competitions for photography - for recipes and joining my daughter @edenmichelle to share her singing and producing talents.
I even hosted my own Christmas Carol competition which was a lot of fun and a lot of work.
Hive has an incredible story to tell and right now are in the process of producing a film about the History and beginnings of HIVE
During my time on Hive - along with @offoodandart we started our own cooking competition called """Cook With Us***. - this was a rip-roaring success and we had so much fun - and I can't begin to tell you how much I miss all the wonderful chefs we met along the way.
How can one sum up so many years of pure joy that Hive has brought into my life.
Most of my blogs were about my life's experiences and my three wonderful adult children @deimus @leelektrik and @edenmichelle
In July 2020, I introduced a new friend to Hive. Olga (@olgavita) rented a room from me in Cyprus and I told her to join Hive. She was very reluctant and said she was a retiring school teacher and had nothing to write about.
Now two years later she is heavily involved in a community Reflection Hunters - and after teaching her for a while - she ended up teaching me. The pupil became the teacher. Now retired, she also believes that Hive has changed her life.
I'm writing this blog from a hospital bed having undergone a Hernia op a week ago - and on very strong antibiotics but I feel I have only touched the surface of what I could write about what Hive has done for me and for the many wonderful friends I have met along the way.
So excited that my daughter is meeting @apshamilton this week. What a joy to meet fellow Hiveans.
My son also met @offoodandart's son in Thailand and that was so good too.
Can't wait to share further adventures with you.
With my son Jack and daughter Eden
My son and his girlfriend Kiara
THANK YOU JACK FOR INTRODUCING ME TO HIVE
What a wonderful 3 years it has been.
Looking forward to meeting @edenmichelle and you tomorrow.
A chance to promote Hive to a different audience.
Sadly I am still in hospital but I'm sure I will meet you soon. So happy that you will meet Eden today. Can't wait to see some photographs. Have an awesome day!!
My dear friend! No doubt, I am very grateful to you, Christine, for HIVE which has since become an integral part of my life, and first of all, please get well soon after the surgery 💖!
I will never forget my days in Cyprus in an extremally friendly place of yours, really. I followed the links and have read your old posts about your bnb experience. I understand why people were happy to be your guests because I know how wonderful people you and Jack are. I laughed recalling the strange man from Israel who was your guest at the same time as me (oh, my god - that time everything did not look funny at all 🤐). My dream is to come to Cyprus again and see you - maybe one day? 😍
Ιt would be wonderful to see you again. I was looking for a photograph of the two of us to add to the post but I'd already had a sleeping pill. I'll always remember our times together and sharing a glass of wine with some fruit as we spoke about our days. I'm so proud of your achievements on HIVE 💓
