My Three Favourite Posts Challenge and June PUD

---

When I saw the My Three Favourite posts challenge initiated by @livinguktaiwan I thought it was a great idea and since a few months ago I wanted to write this post. In fact, when I heard about the challenge I started right away to choose my three favorite posts but then between one thing and another the links were left in a draft. But today is the day!

It was quite fun to go through the amount of posts I have written in almost three years. The first two I chose came to mind as soon as I thought of my favourite posts because in them I talk about the two guys in my life. And not surprisingly the three posts I chose were written in my first year on Hive. But without further ado let me tell you which are my three favourites.

My Sunshine

This is an emotionally charged post. In it, I tell about the moment we found out that my son had won a scholarship to study abroad. I remember that I wrote those lines full of pride and joy but at the same time with a lot of fear for the changes that it would bring to my life.

Today, looking back, I am still full of pride but the fear has dissipated. Our life has changed, it is true. It is the regular course of life that children leave the nest. But the road we have traveled has shown that it was all worth it. My son is fulfilled, studying what he likes and exploiting his potential. And at home, we are fine, always happy when the opportunity arises to spend a few days with him.

The power of a smile

In my first months in Hive, I used to participate in #weekendengagement and this one was my favorite of all. The topic of the weekend was Tell us about the first time you met your current partner.

So in this post, I tell about how I met my hubby. It was a post that I loved to write because it made me remember that day so clearly. And was so nice to read again to make this post, it put a smile on my face.

A ride through the Tramuntana

Finally, I could not fail to include a travel post. I love writing them and revisiting those places through the photos and memories I capture in Hive. But choosing my favorite travel blog was a bit difficult at first, because every place I've visited has its charm and brings back good memories. So I decided to choose my most successful travel post. In fact it's my best performing post of all the posts I've written on Hive in almost three years.

It's about a short road trip along the Tramuntana road in Mallorca that I took in 2019 on a little getaway. While on a family vacation we had in Spain back then, I took a few days to go visit a cousin who had moved to Mallorca a few years ago.

Travel posts have always been part of my Hive journey and that's why I was a bit saddened by the closure of Pinmapple, but just today, I read the good news that Detlev will continue with the project under the name of @worldmappin. There is no doubt great news for all of us at Hive that the legacy of Pinmapple will be continued.

But today is the first of the month and that also means Hive Power Up Day and as usual I can't help but join in.
