Sunsets, Friends, and Fields: Finding Joy in the Simple Moments

avatar

Here's another throwback to those late summer days of 2020, when the sun seemed to shine just a little bit brighter, and the world felt a little quieter. In the midst of all the chaos and uncertainty, we still managed to find beauty in the everyday—whether it was a golden sunset filtering through the trees, kids playing by the water, or horses grazing peacefully in a sunlit field.

Looking back, it’s clear that those moments of calm and connection were what got us through. We spent our days outside, not because we had to, but because it was the only place that felt like the world we knew. Friends met up under the open sky, laughter echoed across empty fields, and every sunset felt like a small victory—another day gone by, another reason to be grateful.

These photos capture a time when life slowed down and the little things became the big things. The sun setting over the horizon, kids trying not to fall in the mud, and horses wandering through a field as the day faded away—these are the moments that remind us that even in the hardest times, there’s still beauty to be found if we just take the time to look.

So here’s to the sunsets, the friends, and the fields that brought us peace when we needed it most. Let’s never forget the simple joys that carried us through.

Shot with iPhone whatever, edit with Adobe LR using my own presets (you can get them too soon!).

You're very welcome, absolutely! Yes, my mother was an ardent animal lover, so I grew up around all manner of critters. My mom and dad bred thoroughbred race horses. I grew up knowing how to handle horses, and to ride, but I gotta say that I'm glad I was a durable kid, because I experienced every crazy thing that you could with a horse, like getting bitten, run over, thrown off, stepped on, and kicked...lol! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Haha...you're very right about that! I'm really grateful for how I grew up, getting dirty, running around barefooted in the forests and fields around me, doing my nature-loving kid thing! Yes, it really is, that's true! I grew up knowing how to do all sorts of useful things! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

!INDEED, you learn both about the useful things and the dangers. Which, I believe, both, is an issue at this moment with children in many of our "civilized" countries. The most dangerous thing they tend to experience is having a cramp in their thumb from texting and scrolling...

That's a really good point that you make about the importance of teaching children how to handing potentially dangerous situations, because you're right, most people are utterly useless when they encounter dangerous circumstances, since they never learned how to deal with it as a child! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

If you've never learned how to fight or flee, your only response is to freeze... And well... yeah !INDEED :-)
It is one the reasons why playing in general is so important for children. Which is a pity now, since they get so little of it... And it shows when they grow up into adulthood...

Yep, indeed, you got tit! It's so incredibly important to allow children to surmount their own challenges (within reason), because they increase their capability in various situations! Yes, play is also hugely important, and for so many reasons! It's important for adults, too! Children that grew up, not playing outside in nature, but staring at screens...yeah, that's gonna leave a mark. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Within reason is a major keyword there indeed :-) And that one goes in both directions... as well as letting them find their own way, as in guiding them.

Some time ago, I came across a website that ranked the Hive Tipping bots according to different specs. Not sure about the details anymore, but it also had the "value per tip" parameter. Can't find the link anymore, but I'm pretty curious to see if IDD is in there in the meantime! !HOPE

Thank a lot! I'm definitely spreading awareness! Others are helping, too, even dropping the whitepaper link of !INDEED for those who are curious. Oh, I am for sure for all three! Yes, I think that publishing the introduction posts for !HOPE and !WEIRD soonish would be a good idea, but of course, at your convenience. We should also perhaps focus a bit on rolling out the next phase of INDEED, such as staking, and then I suppose the staking dividends. I want to make sure that what's been created so far is at a solid place before diving super deep in the next project, like MMB, which is going to be a whole can of works itself...lol! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Yup, publishing the whitepapers and the introduction posts is definitely the first next thing to do for the bots!

I figured that it would high on your list, so excellent! Hehehe...I absolutely love your side development work, as I'm always surprised in the most wondeful way! Sounds marvelous! Yeah, I know doing everything that we're doing costs a good bit in assets, and I thank you so much for covering it all up to this point. This is a very important thing that I think we do need to talk about, because I don't want it to continue to all be on you. If you're using your own assets to create our shared projects, then it stands to reason that I should be as well. I'm just figuring out how, and from where. We need more sources of income...lol! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

That was my conclusion as well! !INDEED we need more income to cover all our current projects, let alone all our upcoming ideas!!!
Did buy a bit of yesterday’s dip already, which will allow me to delegate a bit more hp, so that they can start building their own assets.

Yes, it seems quite inescapable! We need to bootstrap endogenic asset flow, to work toward making what we're creating more self-sufficient. BXT, DRIP, HBD in Savings, and diesel/liquidity pools are all ways to do this, but of course we need liquidity to be able to acquire those assets. Community funding still looks like a good option to me, we just have to get the word out in a more formal way. That's great on buying the dip, congratulations! Yes, getting the bots generating their own assets is exactly what's needed! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

!INDEED totally agree! They need to be self-sufficient, but we need to bootstrap them. Therefor I transferred some BXT to mmbbot already, and delegated some HP (240+ 200 via Ecency points I believe), so that it can already start growing.
The community funding is a great idea as well! To formalize: maybe write a post on the funding account? I will then reblog it on the bot?
