The Idea of the Chronicles
...kinda started when our community advisor SilverScribe came up with the Memoir Mondays. A new topic/question every Monday for a whole year, and we all loved it so much that we've fallen into a kind of writer's block since the "end" of it. Not really, but still...
So what could be more obvious than to continue somehow? Something has to be done to tackle writer's block, or even the ‘all-time low’ at Hive...
The Silverators started brainstorming the hows and the whens to get an idea of what we could all share for the best of our community. To have a sort of "running gag" that never gets old.
In the synonyms for the word memoir, we can find - chronicle. Now, that was it.... our own chronicles! The Silverbloggers Chronicles! The place where we all keep our memories to share with the future. The library of a silly, wild bunch of Silvers. The Silvery Book of the Wise! Hehehe
On Winning the Prize ?!
We are all winners in this by supporting each other in the community, be it with an upvote, a tip, and/or a kind comment...
Since we "all" know that many are just chasing big votes, with not doing much at all, running behind the whales to get them to pay attention, craving for a vote of lots of dollar$. Or the ones being "good (?) followers" and trying to benefit from the Vitamin Relation until there's a Lambo in sight...!
We feel this is the wrong way. A community should be there for each other, even if many humans are conditioned differently. It's more about putting the ego-selfish-ego aside, because life is not about money, it's about joy/happiness. That everyone gets support for their best they give to the community.
You may say it's good to have dreams? Yes, we live these dreams to achieve the best for everyone. Remember - joy/happiness?!
Why are we even writing about this while promoting the Chronicles for our community? It's to make us all realise that many members don't get high-profile support, but we can "help" ourselves. Also, to understand that the idea of a memoir library for future generations is probably not the way to get rich, to finally get that Lambo. It's about sharing viewpoints, knowledge, and the occasional good laugh. It's about individuals, nature, and happiness. And be sure, we continue to curate the pearls in our midst!
The SB-Chronicle Prompt #12
With #sb-chronicles... we are posting a question on Mondays, prompting anyone who wants to join in to write their own "Silverblogger" Chronicle for future generations to read!
If you feel like suggesting a next prompt yourself... please feel welcome to contact one of the "Silverators"!
Tell us about simple childhood toys.

What were some of the toys you played with?
You may even have made your own toys from ordinary stuff around the house, or made up your own games?
Growing up in the 50s through to the 70s was vastly different from today. Some of you were not even born then, and toys started evolving in the 80s when electronic toys and games became popular.
We did not have big toy stores; we mostly bought simple toys like yoyos, spinning tops, colouring books, marbles, charms, etc. from the tearoom/ corner cafe. I think we had way more fun than today's children, who are spoilt for choice.
We would love to hear about the games you played and the toys you grew up with.
Dig into the archives and share your own photos if possible. Or supply the source of copyright-free photos.

And a big THANK YOU for your support
Tipping or delegating is a way to show that you appreciate the work . It works even after a contribution has gone through the seven days of voting, and thus the opportunity for gracious "giving" is over. Another plus - that way no one can ‘steal’ your given support, not even the often ego-selfish, pointless Down-Voters. We thank you for all the support you give, anywhere!
