Why? Or Why Me?
You know what? If you are the type of person that always asks questions and complains every time something bad happens to you but you never do the same when it's something good then you have a long way to go.
If something bad happens to you and you keep asking **Why Me?** please tell me, if not you then **who?**
Inasmuch as you don't like bad happenings around you, don't you think others feel the same?
So every time things happen, your question shouldn't be ***why me?*** but rather **why** ***is it happening?*** not with complaints and murmuring.
Perhaps there is something God is trying to teach you in the process.
I have a personal story to share in regards to this. I hope you learn something from my story.
**My Story**
Late last year, a friend recommended a site for me to invest in. Every day she kept on telling me about this investment and how she had already earned so much and even cashed out.
Yes, she was being truthful and she always shows me the screenshots of her bank account. She wasn't just referring me only to the site. She invited many others and even posted on her page.
People who had the required money to start up the investment joined and started cashing out after a certain period.
I, on the other hand, didn't have the money. I was financially down, although I had a divided spirit about making that investment yet I wanted and wished I had the money to do it.
I still had my doubts and fear about it but if I had seen the money then, I may have registered and joined them
But unfortunately for me, I didn't have the money, so I couldn't invest, I was a little sad but what could I do? Borrowing is the last thing I would ever do and borrowing to invest is the worst decision one can make or even attempt to.
So since I didn't have the needed amount, I couldn't invest.
I told that friend I wasn't gonna invest since I was out of cash. She said it was alright and we all continued with our normal activities.
Two weeks later, I chatted up the friend to know how she was doing and faring. She told me she was not fine, I asked her why? The response she gave me was that the site she introduced me to and asked me to invest in had crashed and the team had run away with people's capital including their profit. Everyone's money was gone for good.
She told me she has been down and trying to recover from the incident.
I was shocked and I felt so bad for her, I understand what she was going through. And the worst of all is that she reinvested everything she gained from her first investment and then the site crashed just a day before the day she was supposed to cash out or withdraw, so you can imagine that.
**So what is the moral lesson in my story? God might have made me financially down during that time even when I considered it as bad days. I was being saved from losing my money. God knows I might not have recovered from it earlier like every other person, so he made me broke and I couldn't join in investing in the site.**
Now you see? Most times good things come from a few bad ones. It's not all your bad days that are totally bad. There is always something life wants to teach you or something you are being saved from.
Instead of complaining and murmuring, keep calm and find out reasons why those bad things happen to you or why you have those bad days.
I am sure if you do this, you will always be grateful instead of living all your days complaining and murmuring.

What Do You Love About The Sky
Is there anything particular you love about the sky?
Or rather are there things you admire every time you look up to that blue sky?
What are those things? The stars, the moon, the clouds, the sun, etc.
If there is something I am very particular and I love so much. There are the clouds
I see them and I love them.
Every time I take a photo of the sky, I look at it several times and I love taking a shot of the sky now and then because of the beautiful and lovely formations of the clouds or just how blue and warm the sky appears.
Here are some of my photography. There aren't so great but I took them with passion because it's what I love doing.
I hope you will like the view as well.
That is the first capture, how lovely is that? Yeah, I captured it with those masquerade trees and stress lights. I really do like that photo.
Say something nice about that photo 😂 its mind-blowing, he's I know that lol, that is why you need to say something
This one caught the blazing sun alongside that flowery tree. I love how the sun is somewhat hidden above the cloud
The sun shaded some of its rays and light towards the portion I captured. It seems I just have trees in all the captures I made today lol.
I still like this one as well.
Now did I answer the question I asked with my title? ***What do you love most about the sky?***
What I love most about the sky as "**The Clouds"**
I am obsessed with clouds and I love them so much especially if it takes up different forms, structure, and shapes.
Now I am done with my photography work, it's your turn to tell me what you love most about the sky. My comment box is wide open and you are so welcome in there😉

Craft: Handmade Flowers Using Cardboard
Hello everyone!
It's another wonderful day and guess what?
I created a little bit of a fun thing today.
Yes, I did some craftwork and I am so happy to share this handmade craft with you all.
I made cardboard flowers.
Not to worry I will show you the processes in case you love to try this at home, you might even come out with an awesome idea different from mine. I just thought of designing flowers with cardboard, so I bought cardboard and started with the work.
Materials and Tools
Cardboard (Oink and White)
A pair of scissor
Top gum
Ruler
Rubber band
Pen
Steps and processes.
These are the already cut and pieces of cardboard paper. I cut it into smaller sizes depending on the size I wanted my flower to be.
I went further to divide the already cut pieces of cardboard into two equal parts.
Then I folded the pieced parts one after another and used the top gum to hold them together. This is the flower petal I was making.
After I gummed the petals together as much as I needed, I then gummed them all together until it formed a flower, see the different photos below.
I spread out the petals to give it a distinctive flower look.
I went further to start up another kind of flower. A different type from the one I just did above. I used a different method with the second flower. Here is how I started, I used a rubber band to bind the pieces of cardboard together. You can as well use gum but I wanted to try it with a rubber band and see the effect and result.
Then I continued till I got to this
I went ahead to fold the flower petals to get it all done and complete.
Later I arrived at these. I spread it out and arranged the petals well to cover up the open and larger spaces.
And this is the final result of the second flower. I applied a circle piece of the cardboard on the top to give it the suiting flower look and then I joined the flower handle.
Behold the two hands made flowers.
I decided to fix the two together and take a shot.
I love craftwork, as much as I love knitting too. I will be sure to share more of my creative works with you guys from time to time.
I hope you like today's work.
You can try this at home, it is very easy I guess.

Why Read.Cash?
Hi there everyone!
I come in peace. I don’t know what goes on around here but I am hoping to learn with time.
My personal info is not something I love to talk about very much that is why I keep my identity sacred and hidden for reason best known to me.
I go with the name zanoz and you can look that up on Hive and you will surely find me.
Yes, you heard me right, Hive is the first blogging platform I found myself in and I have been there for just a week and some days. I signed up for my account on the 28th of December 2020 and I started my activity on the 29th of December 2020.
It has been a wonderful and pleasant journey so far. I love everything that goes go around hive and I am hoping to grow with each passing day because every day I get to meet new people and interact with them, thereby creating a bond and some kind of connection.
**AM I NEW TO BLOGGING PLATFORM?**
You can say I am new but you can also say I am not. I am not new to the blogging platform because I already have an account on a blogging site and also I am new because I am still finding my way out and getting knowledge about everything and cryptocurrency generally.
If you happen to stop by my blog on hive which I will leave you a link HERE, you will know what and why I became a member, and also you will find out what happened along the line and what changed.
The same might happen here on read.cash but we will only find that out with time, how great this place is as they claim it is.
I am here out of my own free will and I heard it quite pleasant and rewarding here. You might wanna ask why I am here but not to worry, I am here to answer every bit of question you have for me.
But before I tell you why or what brought me here, do you mind telling me also why you are present here? Of course, if you can give me a genuine answer then it wouldn’t be so difficult to know my own answers as well, though we may have slight differences but the sole aim of why we are all here boils down to one thing and you don’t expect me to tell you that one thing, do you?
**WHY READ.CASH**
Now the primary goal or aim of every user here and even in other blogging platforms is to make money right? You don’t have to agree with me but that is the genuine truth.
We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the money.
Most of us have different kinds of talents, skills, and knowledge. Some are very good at writing, so tell me if you are among those people that have the talent of penning down things worthy of reading, and then someone suddenly shows up to tell you that you can actually make money out of your write-ups, wouldn't you buy that idea and give it a shot? Or wouldn’t you have a concern about what the person is actually talking about writing and making some cool cash?
Well if you wouldn’t be, then we are the exact opposite cause I won’t let such privilege or opportunity slip away. I will grab it with both hands.
Before I forget that I still haven’t listed out my purpose and reasons for being here, let’s see them below;
**WRITING:** I can’t say or promise I am a very good writer but I can boldly say, my publications will be worthy of reading and it would worth your time.
I specialize in stories, fiction, creative writing, poetry, fantasies, artworks, finance, economy, photography, etc. I can do a lot more but the ones mentioned are areas of my specialty.
So one reason why I choose read.cash and why I am here as well, is to let others know about my talent and what I have to offer.
It is like having my voice heard and giving others permission to speak as well.
In a way, it also means pouring out my heart to the public in words of writing.

**EARNING:** As I said before if my talents and skills can fetch me some added pennies, so why not use what I have been given to make some money? The second reason I am here and why I choose read.cash is because I desire to earn as well while letting my passion travel places.
I wish to make the most out of what I have been blessed with to better my life financially.
If my writings here can fetch me some money, then I wouldn’t mind sticking around and feeding it with more content and articles worthy of publication.

**CONNECTION:** Another important reason why I go to a new place is so as to meet new people, communicate and interact with them. Don’t get me wrong, I am not an extrovert, I hardly speak out in a strange place or gathering. I am an extroverted introvert lol. Can you guess what I mean by that?
It means I am an introvert in an extroverted way. In simple terms, I am a good talkative, and outgoing type but only around people I know and I am comfortable with. I don’t display my talkativeness talent around strange people but when once I get a chance to interact with you once or twice then expect to see my extroverted nature surface.

**LIBRARY:** Weird right? Hahaha, you are even free to laugh if you can. Yes, I wanna make read.cash my personal library and by that, I mean storing up my works and articles for future references. I could have easily done that with a book but that would be a lot of stress and I might even end up losing or misplacing the book but if I have them published on read.cash then I have no fears or worries about losing my work even in the nearest future and even if I might lose my keys to access my account which that would never happen, I can still have access to my work whether logged into my account or not because I will simply look up my username and scroll to my published articles.
I want to make read.cash my personal and a public library, by that I mean, others can also have access to this library as much as I do as well. Isn’t that a great idea? I am sure it is and this is also one of the reasons I choose read.cash and why I am here.
source https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2018/05/28/11/51/woman-3435842_960_720.jpg
**KNOWLEDGE:** last but not least, why I choose read.cash is because I am here to learn as well. It is not very fair if I keep feeding the platform with my contents and the little knowledge I have and yet I go back empty. I need to also receive from others just like I give out.
Like they say ***“No man is an island of knowledge”*** we all need one another. I need you as much as you need me. We all work together to better our lives.
Inasmuch as I have a lot to offer, I am sure someone out there also wants to do the same. I give you mine and you also give yours back to me as well and we all learn and grow together.
source https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/09/18/11/14/school-2761394_960_720.jpg
So with these few points, I am more than confident with my mission here and I want to believe in this platform as much as I believe in myself. I want it to turn out to be the best platform I have been to so far and I want to explore and meet new people while on my stay here.
I hope I am very much welcome and please forgive me for taking a lot of your time.
I wish to see you all next time and I await a positive and welcoming response from all of you guys.
