The HIVE Universe
The good thing about being on Hive is that it is an ecosystem where users can switch between different modes of interaction with the blockchain depending on the mood, need, or interest. If you are feeling lucky or just want to kill time while having fun, then play games. If you feel the creative juice flowing, then create content. Have some extra cash, you may invest it in defi. There is short form and long form writing, and a diverse number of communities across topics that you may be interested in. It's got something for everyone.
Updating my DCrops game-play
Playing Dcrops, I recently discovered that I already have a bunch of items from chest openings that can be used to BUILD EQUIPMENT. I bought the few remaining pieces to complete the resources needed for me to do my first build: a "Furnace".
For those who are not aware of this game, Dcrops is a farm simulation game that let's us plant seeds which are harvested in 15 day cycles and has crop rotation depending on the season. It has a "construction" feature letting players create buildings and other things that can be used in game-play.

Construction was activated together with the beta release, or it might have been a later, so I'm a little late to the party. I might have been busy at that time so I wasn't able to catch up with this feature soon after.
So, now that I have created my first construction build, I will only have to wait for 5 days for it to complete and I will have my first Dcrops construction NFT. I'm eager to find out what it does and to do more in-game construction projects in the future.

Just chilling with my wife on a sundate...
Moving on to another topic, Sunday is my favorite day of the week. We needed some things from the grocery store so we had excuse to go out. We met up with friends along the way so that was a plus. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable time with family and friends. Afterwards, my wife and I decided to get coffee before going back home. We hadn't done that for a while owing to the busyness of life so this is a wonderful opportunity to just chill and catch up with each other while sipping our favorite hot beverage.
It's easy to overlook these things and just go on autopilot in our life with our life partners because we have so many things on our plate that we are swamped to the point that freeing up schedules just to share a simple afternoon snacks is just a big nuisance. Hence, spending time together is a gem.
Conclusion
Hive is such a dynamic and interesting place where we can find our crowd: the techies and artists, the professionals and the unemployed, the teachers and students, and so on, are all here on the platform. In short, this is a one-stop shop. Playing Dcrops on Hive is one of the things that I enjoy so it's fun for me to report milestones that I reach from time-to-time.
That said, I feel that as the year end approaches, I should connect more with family and friends and just say thanks for being there and sharing the moments that went by oh so quickly in 2023. I hope that next year will be better, stronger, and brighter for all of us, especially with all the things happening around the world.
That's it for now. I'm really just rambling on right now so I hope that you are all in good physical, mental, and spiritual health at this very moment. All the best and thanks for dropping by.
