Silver Bloggers' Community Smorgasbord - 5th Edition 2025

Hello, Silver Bloggers! Happy Valentine's Day!

Here we are again to showcase another bunch of posts from our Silver Bloggers - it's that time when we share some of your gems.

We appreciate your posts in the community, so as long as we have posts from our Silver Bloggers, we will try to highlight some of them.

But first, let me tell you how we selected the posts.

Selection criteria

All the posts are chosen from posts in the community, and from accounts that have subscribed to the Silver Bloggers' community. Also, the topic must fit in with our general themes as set out on our community page -

• a keenness to learn more about blockchain and crypto
• life experiences
• musings and memories of lives lived
• planning for (and doing) life beyond formal work

Posts that are a response to #BOM and #SilverPrompts or any contest in the community are not considered.

If you missed some of those awesome posts, we encourage you to go back and read them. If you would still like to support the authors, even though some are past their payout dates: don't waste your vote, leave a tip. (The web versions of @peakd and @ecency offer this facility.)

The "Smorgasbord" - 5th Edition 2025!

My Whole Existence In one Sentence!

by @edith-4angelseu Silver Lumina

I have stories, everyone does! Some told in laughter, others in tears while some are yet to be written. I was someone yesterday, another person today, and tomorrow I would evolve into yet another that I know nothing about, today. We grow, we learn, we unlearn, and we redefine ourselves in ways we cannot even fathom, and purpose can truly remain unfulfilled until the very last breath.

Encounters with wallabies

by @consciouscat

It was ridiculously cute. Even after seeing hundreds of wallabies in the last few years, I never get sick of seeing them. I love them so much. I just want to reach out and pat them as I do with the various dogs I see walking with their humans each day around our block.
Of course, the wallabies are wild animals, so I don't. And I couldn't anyway; they would just jump away.

Monday Things

by @coinjoe Silver Back

We have weather coming in tomorrow...again. More snow, and it seems the track is right on the edge for us to get a little or a lot of snow depending if the track goes 50 miles north or south. Seeing I am retired, it doesn't really matter. I just need to make sure we are prepared to wait it out if we get iced in like last time.

Kitchen Day Prepping - by Sunscape

by @sunscape Silver Sunscape

There is nothing like homemade sauerkraut compared to what you get in a can at the grocery store. I have been making my own for a few years now and wonder why I never made it when I was younger.

Memoir Monday #48: Simple pleasures

by @ungranulises

Learning. For more than 5 years I have been working online, and I have learned many things, for example, Hive was a challenge that fortunately I took, with this platform I learned programming language, graphic design, web design, audio and video editing, marketing, introduction to cryptocurrencies and many more things. I am a curious person. The last training I signed up for was in the field of nutrition to maintain ideal weight, caloric deficit, macronutrients and related knowledge.

Reflections and Personal Life: Families and friendships that become family

by @adalys3

That true friendship where it's not just friends who are there to party. It is the one that advises you to believe and encourages you to grow personally, family or work, it is the one that when found among large crowds is preserved for a lifetime. That friendship that has no obstacle, rather they always support each other and do not criticize or judge each other anymore.

As a reminder

The #bom and #silverprompts are meant to encourage and inspire. So remember that you can write about any of the topics that have already passed if you have writer's block.
We always look forward to reading your posts. And we manually select and recommend good content to be supported by OCD.
