Three weeks ago I was nominated by @saunter to take part in an interesting challenge created by @anomadsoul. The challenge requires the nominated bloggers to look back at their own work here on the platform, select and compile 10 posts which they were proud of. The idea behind it is for current readers get to know the author a little better through their Steemit work.
I love this idea first, because it gives us writers the chance to revisit our previous writings. It is a great opportunity to evaluate our progress as well as to analyze what still needs to be improved. Secondly, because it gives another opportunity to bring those articles to light which, due to how Steemit is formatted, mostly get left behind after 7 days. Finally, as for me, it is a fun way to break the Psychology Addict routine 😊
Having said that, I trust that most of you know that my blog is dedicated to evidence based articles about psychology. What some of you might not be aware of is that I also, whenever inspired, like to write short stories.
SHORT STORIES
I remember creating and bringing Mr. Bales to life. It took me a week, on and off, to develop him. Whenever I write a short piece of fiction I know how it’s going to end. So, my work mainly lies in finding my way there. This was the first short story I wrote in first person. It was really enjoyable. In case you are interested in knowing ‘my encounter’ with Mr. Bales, it won’t take you more than 10 minutes to read it through.
Another Day with Mr. Bales
The last short-story I wrote here on the platform was nearly one year ago. My husband and I had recently moved to the little village we live in now. While exploring routes for my walks I bumped into a huge abandoned house. The very one you see in the photo below. This building put a spell on me. I used to walk there and spend a long time looking at it, from the sea side, while allowing my imagination to go wild. The product of those moments is The Abandoned House.
CHALLENGES
The first time I was challenged here on the platform was 10 months ago by my dear @karencarrens. What was I required to do? Post B&W photos of things and places that represent my day-to-day life, for seven consecutive days! That was not an easy feat as I was/am not used to posting daily. Although, nothing compares to the nightmare I had with @trumpman’s awful, awful beer challenge, which consisted of posting - for an entire week – a short review of different kinds of beer that you’d tried and would recommend to others. As a non beer drinker I found myself having to resort to ‘innovative’ ways of tasting (e.g with a teaspoon, straw) this smelly beverage.
I am proud of having completed those two challenges 😎 Also, they made it possible for me to interact with my readers in a different way. Further, I learnt that while I am willing to accept to take part in the odd Steemit challenge I understood that I am not cut out for the ‘7-day’ type.
That is why I broke all the rules when @ruth-girl nominated me for the 7 Day Way Back Music Challenge and did it all in one single post! That was a wonderful post to write. I got so carried away that I even shared one of my photos there.
PSYCHOLOGY ADDICT
Thus far, I have written 47 articles for my Psychology Addict series. I enjoyed writing every single one. However, each of them elicits a different emotion when they are finally ready. With some I go ‘oh, no!’ 😖, while with others I go like ‘yep!’ 😊 Here, I am going to share with you some of my old posts that fit into the latter group.
Nine months ago I wrote: Depression – Where to Draw the Line?. A post which discusses the fine line that separates ordinary sadness from mild depression, it briefly touches on the topic of resilience, and attempts to explain the different levels of this condition that for some can be an occasional episode in life, but that for others becomes something they battle with day in, day out.
One month after that, a combination of events motivated me to write the post The Architecture of Sustainable Happiness, drawing from the principles posited by positive psychology I argue how for happiness to become something achievable we need to be proactive about it. I turned to the study conducted by Lyubomirsky to support my claim, and concisely described a few other pieces of research on forgiveness and gratitude for further evidence.

Then, after 4 weeks without writing for my Steemit blog (yeah, sometimes life gets in the way) a chat I had on SteemSTEM discord channel inspired me to write about Dementia. On that post I described the causes and symptoms of not only Alzheimer’s, but of frontotemporal and vascular dementia too. I talked about my friend’s late mum and my uncle Joseph, who due his older age is often forgetful, but doesn’t suffer from any kind of dementia.
Due to a line I wrote on my post about dementia (Another possibility, of course, is that the naughty little boy she[my grandma] often saw running around was a real ghost) I received a few requests to write about ghosts.
Now, this is a topic that has interested me for most of my life. I have always been fascinated about the supernatural connotation given to certain psychological phenomena. Hallucinations and OBEs are some examples. Because I had so many subtopics to cover I decided to write a 2-part series entitled: Making Sense of the Supernatural. In part one I shared with you the experiences my little brother had when we were small children, my own OBE, and visits from lost loved ones. I reached for the works of Dr. Oliver Sacks and W.D Rees among others, to explain these situations from a neuropsychological perspective.
What about you my dear reader? Out of the posts I wrote that you were available to read. Which one did you like the most? Is it on this list, or is it a more recent one? 😊
To keep the ball rolling I am going to nominate for this challenge @agmoore, who I have been in love with lately ❤, @dysfunctional, the author of one of my favourite blogs here on this platform & @samminator, a kind gentleman who I have the pleasure to interact with both on Steemit and Discord 🌹 Good Luck guys! 😃

Saudações, abigail
Você é brasileira??? Achei bem legal seu blog e seu interesse. Eu vi seu nome agora em uma postagem do @brazilians.
Eu também sou psicólogo . Minha linha de trabalho é a terapia cognitivo comportamental. Acompanharei seu blog aqui e começarei á ler suas próximas postagens.
Caso você não seja brasileira e tenha sido um engano, me desculpe hehehe.
Obrigado e boa noite!
Hi sweet Abi! This flash-back was really enjoyable and believe it or not, "The Abandoned House" story crossed my mind a few days ago, what a coincidence! I think it was my favorite story from you and I also loved the posts about the supernatural!
Have a great new week ahead!
Lots of love and warm hugs! 🤗💖
Oh @smart-girl 😊🌷 what a wonderful message to read this morning. Thank you so much for it :) How interesting that you thought about the Abandoned House! The supernatural series seems to be quite popular 😅
This photo has brought me a smile that has given me new energy to start my day! Thank you 🦋❤️ I wish you a week filled with peace of mind and good health.
Much love to you from Portugal.
Hey there, Abby! What a nice surprise for this Friday post with a bit of a personal touch :)
I have read many of your previous articles but the funny thing is that I haven't read any of the feathered :) So, I have a list now.
I think that the article I remember quite vividly was the first one of yours that I read - Shaun The Sheep and Marriage :D I liked it very much (and still like it). I loved b the funny play you made with the pictures in it. It was (is) a quite personal article and this is what makes it very powerful :) Or at least, that is how I see it :D
Hope you are doing well with the busy days at work!
P.S. Can't wait for the @samminator, @dysfunctional, and @agmoore ' s posts!
See you!
Yes! I am also looking forward to what my nominees will come up with 😃 Shaun The Sheep and Marriage was a fun post to write. It helped me to reflect a lot about my (mis)behaviour!
Thank you for stopping by dear Valeria. You are a very loving person.
PS: I have seen your latest post, I will comment on it as soon as I can!
Haha, thank you for your nice words, Abby.
Don't worry about commenting my post. Isn't it Friday night -> party night :) Have a lovely evening, instead!
Lots of love!
Val
Thanks for the nomination Abbey, I'm really honoured.
I'm gonna give it a try tomorrow; you know I can't tell you no. You've been an amazing friend turned sister.
Keep being awesome Abbey. Much love.
And remember this night's hangout 😂😂
I am looking forward to seeing your compilation Sammi 😃
Ps: I will see what I can do about tonight (cannot promise anything, but I will try 😉. I might turn up a little earlier!
Oh, I thought you forgot! What an unbeliever am I! Forgive me for that :) I really need to catch-up your short stories, I somehow skipped them but they seem to be interesting, especially the last one which seems to be a product of some kind of form of Jung's active imagination technique :)
47 Psychology Addicts! Gosh, you should really open a APA facility - Anonymous Psychology Addicts :DDDDDD
Your best post? Hard to choose, they are all so professional and well written... I recently got back to meditation so why not to pick one of your best, the one about mindfulness :)
Thanks for taking part in challenge!
I would never forget a request from you @saunter 😊
😂 😂 😂
I'm a big fan of your psychology related articles. You do an awesome job researching interesting concepts and ideas on the subject. I always learn a lot from them. I remember that beer challenge you took part in and your disdain for it. The image of someone drinking beer with a teaspoon is pretty funny lol :)
Keep up the great articles!
Hey @leaky :D
Yours comments are among the ones I enjoy reading the most! As they invariably either bring something new to our discussions, or spark new thoughts and reflections :)
Thank you so much for your constant support & kindness.
Hi Ms. Abi.... 😘
Another interesting piece, it makes me turn back to the very first post that I read from you... To be honest I am the kind of person who doesn't love reading, that's why when I first came to steemit and you were the first person that was introduced to me by my sister, I'm kinda worried If I would be able to understand your write ups, but when I start reading your blogs, they are interesting because I am a frustrated psychologist 😊, I took up AB-Psychology on my first year on college but I shifted to Business course thinking that it would be easy to get a job hehehehehe.... But I really do love counselling especially to my friends and my sister @zephalexia (heheheh), All of your blogs are really worth the time to read... But I also have my favorites,
first... your beer challenges, though you really don't drink but you still up to the challenge and that's what I love about you...
Second... Your spooky stories on your supernatural blogs.... I love horror and thriller...
Third.... The ENVY, it makes me realized that I feel envious sometimes,
And your Letter to your reader, your one year celebration....
I hope you conti ue to inspire us, I know that I would never be even as half as good as you, but the way you present your piece inspires me....
And never ending thank you Ms. Abi, through ups and down of the platform you never give up on minnows like me, my sister and cuties..Minis...
We Love you to the moon... 😘😘😘
@avhyaceulip - - AVEGAIL... 💞💞💞
Oh! You are a fellow from the psychology field too!! How wonderful to find out that besides spicy food we also have this in common :D
Your words are very, very humbling. In response to them I have nothing more to say than thank you. Not only for your constant support, but also for always taking the time to leave beautiful, meaningful comments; which offer me new perspectives of what I like to discuss here!
Good choice! The Supernatural Series seems to be very popular!!
You take care my dear 😘
Hey, Abi! Soo glad that it's Friday!
I'm so happy that I've found your blog almost right after I joined Steemit.
For the time interacting with you, you've been a great support and often an inspiration! And I am sure not only for myself!
Thanks so much for the mention also! I really like the idea of this challenge :) Hopefully I would not fail it :D
All the best to you, as always :P
D.
😃 Excellent!!
I know my top 10 favourites from your blog! Let's see how many of them will be included in your compilation :)
Thank you for the kind words and for accepting the challenge!
You take care.
:D
I hope I included some of them :D
You did! You did :D
My dear Abigail, you do know how to lift the heart. Just having my first cup of coffee (it was a late night and a long sleep), when I realized, "It's Friday! @ abigail-dantes' blog will be up." I read through with great interest, then saw my name at the bottom. You cannot know the physical charge that gave me. I always have the sense of being invisible--and that you should recognize me--this will keep me going for a while.
Just read "Another Day with Mr. Bales". It's the kind of story I don't follow quickly by reading another. Powerful and sweet, worthy of the finest short story collection. You carry readers along gently and let us know the narrator and Mr. Bales through a few exquisitely crafted scenes. There's no overt sentimentality, and yet the sentiment evoked is so stirring. Lovely, memorable story. I will savor this one a bit longer before I read another.
Of course I'll take up your challenge, but I can't help wondering, who cares? I'll write for an audience of one, because I know you'll care. And that's enough. After all, as a writer of books that nobody reads, I mostly write for an audience of one.
Thanks you for the honor. I will read the rest of your stories and blogs as this day progresses. Will take my time, because I know they will be worth it.
Be well, Abigail. Be happy. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself. And thanks for being a friend. With great affection and appreciation, I wait for your next blog. 💙 🌼 🌻
@agmoore :)
I am glad to hear you accepted the challenge! But, I am mostly glad to see that you know that I'll care :)
It is wonderful to hear you liked Mr. Bales. I am not a very creative person, and with my short fiction pieces, I find difficult to give depth to my characters. I suppose that all I do is to just explore psychological aspects through them. I like doing that :) The books you wrote are fiction or non-fiction?
I have great ambitions to write a book one day. Except that I just don't know how to go about doing it. I actually discussed this recently with @egotheist, who told me just 'to do it' really!
You are a very, very special person my dear. I know that. Having the impression of being invisible doesn't necessarily mean we are :)
Looking forward to your post!!
Have a wonderful weekend & keep warm!
💙
Response to your blog, continued:
I just finished Cristophe the Cricket. It's 1 AM here, perfect time to read such a story. You really shouldn't bury a gem like this. Children should read it. Parents should read it to their children. Lovely. Message not overplayed, as could have been the case. Gentle, sweet, logical. And the drawing is inspiring!
Keeping a running commentary as I go through the blogs: Finished The Abandoned House. How could you not write fiction? You must have more stories you are squirreling away. Anyone with this imagination must write. This is a perfect story. We are caught in her imagination. I note you never give her a name--that would suggest an objective reality. We are trapped, convincingly, in her reality. Fantasists can decide that she is indeed in a maze, a kind of spatial/temporal loop. Realists can decide that she is mad and has imagined everything. You, the author, leave us with a puzzle--clues and a puzzle. Well done. Well done.
The blogs: What a collection! I only started reading your blogs a few months ago so these were all new to me. The dementia blog was the only one I couldn't finish. As with all your blogs, I started to relate the material to my own life and didn't enjoy contemplating that :). Plus, dementia is one of those things you can tell us about but you can't help us avoid :(
I found the blog on depression brilliant, but it saddened me. It reminded me of stuff I've read about epigenetics. If stress/abuse/deprivations happen early enough, and for a long period, they becomes a lifelong burden, or even a multigenerational legacy.
I loved the blog on the supernatural. You add objective science to the subject, but I agree with you: Your brother's bedroom was definitely haunted!!
The Architecture of Sustainable Happiness had me drawing contrasts with my own life--that's the most wonderful thing about your blogs: They give us tools and insight. I was having a little trouble with the set point, that we are probably born with this and keep reverting to it. My life perspective--my contentment quotient--has undergone a complete transformation from childhood. Objectively considered, my childhood was dreary, chaotic. I was very unhappy. But today I'm peaceful, content, positive. Every morning I get up eager to experience another day. I'd have to put my architecture of happiness at 90% intention and circumstance. My set point, which has been consistent through my life, has been the inclination to contemplate--to be a little more philosophical ("serious") than most people around me.
The best thing about this review of your blogs is it gave me the incentive to look back over your work. So much I have missed--the titles are teases I will revisit (probably not the beer challenge, except for a good laugh). I see now, no need to wait for Friday to read your blog. There's catching up to do!
@agmoore, you make feel very special! Thank you for taking a lot of your time to go through my work and provide me such meaningful feedback! I am overwhelmed by it ❤ I like Christophe too. He is full of prejudice, but he is not bad. He just doesn't know better. He is a being in transformation.
I was fascinated by the way you presented the two perspectives the audience can see the Abandoned Houses' protagonist from. That was something I only realized when I read some of the comments. It was an eye opener for me, as a fiction writer. It is funny, because that same outcome happens in research. Especially in qualitative research.
The observations you made about the post about depression reminded me of a study that analysed changes in dendritic spines seen in animal models, by Mitra and Sapolky (2008), who injected high doses of corticosterone in rats, for one entire day, to represent intense stress. After 12 days they saw that the rats had sprouted more dendrites in their amygdala neurons. This was sufficient to produce long-term anxiety and depressive behaviour.
I read the comment you left me last night to my husband. He was in awe of your words and the wisdom they convey. I am seriously considering to begin to draft something that will either be what I will later call my book, or something that eventually direct me to that path 😊
That makes me happy! And reading your blogs was a valuable way to spend my time:)
Writing books for me was just a reflection of passing time--and defiance. I'm not young. At some point I realized that if I wanted to do something, I'd better hurry up :) At first taking on a book may seem hard--like anything new. Then you realize a book is just a series of chapters. That's all. The idea is big, but the project is entirely manageable. Do it! You're a great writer. And you're very creative. The best writers speak truth to us. That's what you do in your blogs. That's what you do in "Another Day with Mr. Bales".
Don't let perfection be a barrier. The need to be great held me back for long time--not anymore. I can accept a modest outcome--another gift of age.
I'm saving your other pieces for the end of my day, when there are no distractions and I can enjoy them in comfort. Reading is one of the great pleasures in my life, so I treat the experience with respect.
I think a great deal matters to you-- I'm happy to be among those things. You are a gift to this platform and to those of us clever enough to follow your blog.
The best weekend to you, also. Have fun...start that book! With great affection...🎈🎈
hello miss Abi , the ones i can remember , actually all your topics are worth remembering
the one about social media and shaunthe sheep&marriage
Well i like all your write ups , and your oraganization of ideas , i may not have the chanceto know you in person right now. But getting to know you here on steemit is already a big thing for me . I am grateful to havecross paths with you here miss Abi ,you areone of my reasons why i still continue steeming. The miss Abi i k ow is so welcoming to all her followers and commenters ,a psychology addict , a listener , an adviser , and a beautiful lady from inside and out
Thanks always miss Abi ,may God bless you always more and more , hope someday me ,my minis andmy sister will have the chanceto get to know @abigail-dantes in person 😘❤️❤️❤️
Hello my dear @zephalexia 😊
It feels like we have been communicating with each other forever, doesn't it? :) I am also very grateful to have crossed paths with someone as thoughtful, kind-hearted and strong as you. You are an example for all the mums and women in general out there. Your strength and dedication are real gifts, which you should feel very special for having :)
Oh, I remember that article about social media. Can you believe that was the post that took me the longest to write? It took me about 11 hours to finalize it! So, I am glad my efforts paid off 😅
You take care my dear.
Much love to you and the minis, always and forever! :*
Wow my! I remembered I started following you, when you wrote a brilliant piece about a spectacular OBE experience, the post was just too brilliant I remembered it as one of the most awesome piece I've read, however as time went on I found out about other plethora of beautiful works you have.
Thank you for taking me down memory lane 47 psychology posts is just pretty damn amazing and I never knew you wrote fictional prose works as well I'll be damned!
I love the abandoned house it's awesome rotating around Travis I really enjoyed the way you painted an imaginary piece of that house in my mind, I could virtually feel it.
You're a brilliant story writer and I didn't even imagine you as the seven days challenge kind of person hahahaha, howbeit the past is splendid, the present and your now contents are even more amazing, I'm so glad to have seen this awesome throwback rhapsody.
Hope you've been good? How's Brazil?
Hi my dear @josediccus :)
I appreciate your support and encouragement so much! And I can only thank you with my heart for taking the time to constantly come around to take part in our discussions! I am so glad to hear your feedback about The Abandoned House. I had great fun putting that story together :) it does mean a lot coming from a poet like you.
I hear that Brazil is "ok" this weekend is an important, tense one in my country. It is presidential election time, you see. And it looks like the worst candidate possible is ahead in the polls :/ oh ... politics!
Much love to you my dear :*
Hahahaha well I'm beginning to do dtube contents as well I guess it's time i expanded my horizon.
Well the feeling is always mutual Abigail, it's amazing to always wake up on Fridays to your contents you know it's always a pleasure and I can't thank you enough for entertaining and educating as well.
What can I say, I'll like to see more fictional stories from you really, it'll be amazing.
Cheers!!!
Well what do you know .. I actually learnt new things about Abby today loool !!
You should have mentioned your love to spiders too, but thats probably something @ruth-girl wrote in her own post about you if i remember correctly :D
it's been too long we haven't chatted, how you've been? hit me up on discord when you have some time !
I truly don't know what is wrong with us! We go for too long without chatting indeed! It is just wrong 😆
Yeah ... @ruth-girl is almost getting me cured of my spider phobia, after so much exposure ... they are becoming less and less frightening! :P
Nothing new over here.... just a bit extra busy at this time of the year. Actually, I have even been posting less often. I trust everything is fine over there with the family ❤
What a change from your usual work, but I'm really happy to get to know @abigail-dantes a little more :)
A great story of Mr Bales, I had to read the last paragraph right to make sure I understood the twist!
I've read and enjoyed all of the other work linked above, what a fine collection of posts you have.
Have a great weekend!
Hey Asher !
How have you been? It is great to hear from you :)
I am glad you enjoyed Mr. Bales. Ahahahah
Thank you for the kind words 😘
You take care!
Hi Abigail
Apologies for the late reply. I've been well, preparing for Steemfest which is here next week.
The sun has departed so I have one eye on somewhere else for the 'winter' :)
Have a great weekend!
Oh, I am aware of that. I have seen on your blog :)
You take care & have an awesome weekend too :*
Oh another challenge. I actually remember the 7-days thingies (I failed all of them :) ).
I remember you gave the awful beer challenge a go, I remember because of the fancy glass you shared in one of the two, out of the seven days you were meant to write 😛 about beer!!
I wrote 2 posts, with indeed one kwak. I was really lazy there because I could have found more than 2 beers (I have at least 15 different brands at home) :)
I had never read mr. bales before - and that was excellent.
Why are you not writing more fiction?
(...I hope you weren't using me as your inspiration for mr. bales! lmao - I'm not that old...)
I'm not upvoting today, sorrrrry - I had a flagging attack from a communist who didn't seem to appreciate my focused comments and funny memes, and they did some serious down voting!...Yes, seriously!
Which is kinda funny...I was arguing about them (the left) having no sense of humor last week...mmmmm...
(Mr bales was the only one of your post that I hadn't read, I think.)
Nice to see you around these parts!
😂 😂 😂
Oh noooo .... flagging attacks are awful! I was flagged 10 months ago or so, by someone with a big wallet and it smarted a bit. A reader of mine reesteemed my post; but, unfortunately seem to have upset someone who went over flagging a bunch of her blog's posts (including the reesteems! 😅).
I am glad to hear you liked Mr. Bales :D I like him too. And no, he wasn't inspired by you (Ahahaha). I have written a couple of fiction pieces since I last posted my last one here, one year ago. But, unlike someone I know, my ability to bring characters to life is rather limited.
This is, by the way, a great opportunity for me to let you know how incredible I find the way you shape Reg's and Derek's personality, peculiarities and interactions. And I know that just 'comes' to you. I am not like that :P
All right.
You take care over there and try to avoid flag wars!
:)
er,... yeah,... right...you probably know me well enough by now, I'm not the type to let bullying go unchallenged...(I've never been bullied in real life).
First they came for political satirist, then it was the psychologists..
...this seems quite conciliatory, don't you think?
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

I cant upvote, sorry - my power has been crucified (pun intended, once you click on the link..lol)
I'm off to bed now - but on the upside, you are gonna just love my next Reg and Derek post - ill try to do it tomorrow...
(I need some frivolity!)
g'nite.
Sleep well! Turning off here too :)
I hope you have an enjoyable sunday morning read !!!!!!

You should write more stories. I still write. Though not in my blog :D
Hey Green, I have only 1 that has been written and was sent to my folder. Are you publishing them somewhere else? Actually, as I was writing the short text to introduce The Abandoned House here I thought of the one you wrote with the older couple and the scary house!! That is a good story Green!
I still remember that story. Yes, I publish in other blogs on steemit and outside steemit. I think I should write more horror stories. This is the right time for it with Halloween just around the corner :D
This one with this uber driver post. I guess I see them daily so I am faced with lots of reactions from them
https://steemit.com/@abigail-dantes/me-and-the-uber-driver-the-art-of-listening
Oh! Yeah ... good pick @turpsy :) the message I tried to convey with that post is a very important one. I am glad to see someone remembers it!
Thank you!
I came to your publication by chance and I think the challenge worked because I'm already curious to read your works, especially those that have to do with psychology, the abandoned house and where supposedly a photo of you appears. One of the attractive things about Steem is that you meet amazing people who have a worldview that may be different from yours but that opens up a world for you. That's good! I hope to keep reading to you! Greetings
Well nice to meet you @nancybriti :)
You left me a very nice comment here. It is always wonderful to come across people interested in psychology here on the platform. Steemit is an amazing place indeed 😊
I was very pleased you included the piece about dementia in your top 10 :) This was something very close to my heart and is a tough condition for both the person and the family to cope with.
Terry !😊
The kindness with which you received that post has made it much, much more meaningful to me.
I trust you & the girls are fine :)
Yes we are all doing well, thank you for asking!
Hola mi querida Abi, espero te encuentres muy bien! un placer volverte a leer, como veras estoy de vuelta, no se por cuánto tiempo pero espero que sea por uno largo, por ahora tengo un buen internet y eso me tiene muy alegre, ya que vuelvo a entrar a Steemit y compartir con todos mis amigos.
Este post me encanta! ya que me trae bonitos recuerdos contigo a lo largo de tu trayectoria en la plataforma, tus publicaciones sobre la psicología han ayudado mucho en mi vida, pero no todo es trabajo, también los recuerdos de los retos en los que has participado, recuerdo muy bien el de la cerveza jajajajaja tuve tres días riendo por las ilustraciones de bob esponja en tu rostro jajajajaja mi hermana aun habla de ello, sin mencionar en el desafío de la música, enloquecí cuando colocaste una fotografía mostrando tu cara, aunque tienes lentes oscuros en la imagen pude notar que eres muy hermosa, cosa que viene a mi mente un retrato que te ofrecí hacerte, propuesta que aun esta sobre la mesa.
No puedo dejar pasar por alto los escritos de terror que compartiste con nosotros, me gustaron mucho ya que ese tipo de eventos tienen respuestas en el área psicológica y en la espiritual.
Mi querida @abigail-dantes, el sábado que pasó cumplí un año en la plataforma y mis mejores momentos han sido contigo compartiendo a lo largo de este año, te deseo lo mejor de todos los éxitos y que nuestra amistad dure hasta el último respiro de nuestro ser, Dios te bendiga grandemente y a los tuyos también, un inmenso beso y abrazo mi querida amiga.
Oh my .... what a wonderful surprise to see your comment here today @javisem! Goodness me! I know that your sister is well and now I know you are also fine. I trust the same is true about your mum, correct? Welcome back to Steemit! I look forward to seeing your beautiful artwork in my feed :) Yes, I remember the awesome comments you left discussing your perceptions about the supernatural and what the Bible says regarding it all. We did have a good laugh with the horrible beer challenge didn't we? Well, this is what is so incredible about you my dear. You always have a smile to give and kindness to spread!
Stay safe and strong!
Much love to all your family ❤ ❤ ❤
Gracias por tus buenos deseos amiga! No hace falta escribir un emoji para percibir el amor en estas lineas, mi mama esta bien gracias por recordarla, mi hermana y su familia en Ecuador y yo aún en Venezuela guerreando y confiando en Dios que pronto acabara esta terrible dictadura.
Un millón de besos para ti! Muy pronto haré unas publicaciones de unas ilustraciones que tengo pendiente.

That abandoned house is awesome! I cries for a refurbishment.
Wow!
Hey Alexander .... and who knows when I will be available to write the 49th article! :P I just noticed now that I missed you last post. But, I will allocate time to read on the weekend, as I am truly enjoying that series :)
Yeah I was wondering why you missed your article deadline. Are you becoming overworked? Got tired of the routine of needing to have something out like clockwork? Or something personal? Hope nothing serious...
Morning Alexander, I got a bit sick(nothing serious). It started like a normal flu, next thing I was in bed coughing my guts up, and without energy to even open my eyes. I am surprised by how long it took me to recover. But, I am much, much better now. I have been properly medicated, able to speak with an audible voice, and eat proper food again, etc... I will soon return to my activities and Steemit :) thank you for stopping by. Have a great day ☕️
I never realized you were ill, hun!
I just thought you'd run away...again...lol
I hope you get well soon, miss you...

Hey @lucylin :)
It is wonderful to hear from you! I am A LOT better now. I am strong enough to start catching up with work and studies this week. My blog will need to wait a little bit. I have also missed you too, as well as my steemit writing and interacting with everyone else on the platform.
I hope everything is fine over there with you & Lucy.
You guys take care :*
I will be around soon! :D
...looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Derek says 'hi'
Reg say's 'wibble'....(for some unfathomable reason..)
Gute Besserung, Abi:)
= German for "have a good recovery time."
I checked your blog once in a while = nothing. Now I know the reason.
Bye from Erika
You are such a sweet, enlightened being Erika. Thank you 😊❤️
:) though I am not I thank you.
Looking forward to Christmas. We got it going last year, haven't we? I remember this particular Black and White photographs during the holidays. Was a lot of fun. I wonder how the spirit is going this year.
All the best for you.
Erika
Sorry to hear that. Do you eat healthily overall? Ever since I got rid of sugar and heavily processed foods, colds avoid me. When I feel something might be afoot, I immediately drink coconut milk, eat some natural Greek yogurt, and broccoli. Dunno if it works of if it happened by accident and now I'm like a Pavlov dog.
Get well!
Coconut milk... all right then :)
Thank you for these tips! Bought a 1 kg pot of Greek Yogurt today!
I felt a lot stronger today !! Weeee
👍 😊
I am so sad that I am too late seeing this, but travel and such.
Wouldn't it be funny if there was a 'wizard' writing a paper about the 'Making sense of the Psychology of things' about how humans attribute rational thought to magical happenings :) I don't know why that makes me smile, maybe because I can see it as a drawing or sort of one panel comic.
Hey Abi!!😊😊 Well that was a nice recap and I was able to recollect all those articles since I have been reading your articles from the beginning. I have really spend some reasonable amount of time to read your articles. Sometimes it will require more than one reading for me because of the depth of information you write. Your beer challenge posts were kind of out of subject for me because I'm a teetotaler. Other than that I really enjoyed reading all your articles. 😁😁 Cheers!!
