Alive & Thriving Goals Monday : Back to Reality... || AATYr6 || Pr...

My long weekend is over. Wow that sure came and went too fast. Now, it's back to reality. 😒 Yeah, now I start counting down to the end of another month. For the meantime, I gotta plan on surviving a new month. New bills are coming again. Budgeting is tough but truly necessary. 🙄

No trick or treating here. So glad that the columbary where Mom's vault is offers online services. Here's the photo for her flowers and blessing for Undas 2025. It's been four years since we lost Mom. I still miss her a lot. 😔

I have not forgotten my weekend steps. I'm a work in progress, so I'm training each day to eventually reach 5K steps daily. That will be my goal starting next year. I need to adjust my movements so I do not strain myself from walking too much. It could get painful if pushed to the limit. I might need to spread out my activities throughout the day so I would still reach my new target by 2026. 🤔

Prompt A Day : QUOTE

"Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others." - Marcus Tullius Cicero

Focus on being thankful each day, and blessings somehow grow more. It takes a while to develop this attitude of gratitude, but once learned, it's truly enriching. I do need constant reminders so I've allotted #thankfulThursday for this personal weekly reminder. 😉 With constant practice, being thankful will come naturally in time. I can say that the more grateful I am, the more blessed I become. With challenges and obstacles in our daily lives, it's easy to lose sight of all the good things that come our way. Stay focused. If circumstances become a little overwhelming, pause and breathe and learn to take things as they come. One day at a time.. that has been helping me a lot. Find your mini victories each day. 🙏❤️💡

Hive Goals

Here are the updated figures for the week:
Hive Power: 15098.998 --> 15123.127
HBD Savings: 199.863 --> 202.733
Alive Power: 181.048 (liquid) ; staked 48.8K; 23K delegated --> 152.645 (liquid) ; staked 49K; 23K delegated
STARBITS: 2503260 --> 2503723

LEN:LENM = 93.069 --> 93.92
ALIVE:ALIVEM = 872.967 --> 879.034
ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE = 8.852

There's a new diesel pool that was set up by Hive account@tydynrain. I decided to start small for now and grow my shares slowly each week. That's the ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE pool. I see there are token rewards for adding to this pool. I hope that rewards could also be added to ALIVE:ALIVEM pool somehow. 🤞 Anyway, I work on adding to my diesel pools weekly. Main targets : 16K HP; 300 HBD; 75K Alive Power total (staked plus delegated).

I honestly do not get to monitor all L2 tokens that I have on hand. It's sad when some projects just stop growing. 😟 I hope more Hive projects will continue to thrive.

Be back next week for more tracking of Hive goals... 🎉

Wow! It's now the eleventh month. Guess you could say we're almost at the end of another year. To be honest, this 2025 was a really strange year. I was having a really shitty time at the start and it was no fun. Thankfully, the strange cultural phenomenon called KPop Demon Hunters happened by middle of the year, and I'd say it has helped uplift me somehow. I totally needed the distraction as well as the motivation to keep going. My daily evening walk would not be complete without listening to the soundtrack of the movie. 🎶 one day at a time...

I actively work on these affiliate sites daily. Immediate goal is to reach $6 on LL. I'm halfway there now, so I simply need to keep going.

My day is almost over again. Time to wrap up and catch up with rest and sleep. Apparently, there's another typhoon in the country. Let's see if I'll be affected with rains by tomorrow or the day after that. 🙄 I'm thankful though that it's actually cooler tonight. 🙏❤️💡 I wish I could freeze this cooler night. 😅 Happy new month to one and all. Nighty night from Manila. Ta-tah! 👋
