A December to Remember

The past week has been a lot. A whole lot. I can’t even begin to describe how tremendously turbulent this week has been. But I managed to scale through it. Even a fight that almost went physical that I was involved in. Scary stuff. But I’ll talk about that in a subsequent post.

I’d been hearing my friends before now, talk about how they were already smelling the December air, and at that time it was mid-November. I don’t know if a lot of people notice it but there’s this smell that’s peculiar to December. I don’t know if that smell is the same with others that live in Temperate regions. But we in the Tropical regions usually notice this smell in the air every December.

Unfortunately, apart from one time in November when I perceived that familiar and most welcome scent for all of five seconds, I haven’t smelt that Christmas air. Yet. But as the month is beginning, there’s still hope. I don’t like it as much as I do the air that characterises the transition from the dry season to the rainy season because that’s my favourite season. I still feel the dry season is cool in its own way.

I’m not sure if I’ll enjoy this month so much since my exams will be starting in the first week of January. School is yet to be over and I still have a few tests this coming week. So it’s more or less sure that my December will be very much indoors and be spent studying like there isn’t tomorrow. I mean there are a thousand other ways I’d rather spend the most festive month of the year but I don’t exactly have a choice. However, I’ll try to make it as memorable as I can for myself.

Power Up Day

Moving on to my power-up post for this month, November has been really beautiful in a lot of ways for me with my Hive growth. I’m not so sure that it was as jaw-dropping as October was, but I loved it a lot because I learned a few things that I didn’t know and was rather humbled by a lot of occasions that made me realize the worth of what we do as content creators on this Blockchain.

Hive Power(HP)

I started November with 2,161 HP. Greatly eager to take the month by storm, I didn’t relent in posting daily and engaging when I could. It was a battle since I had to keep up with school and my other offline activities which became a lot more demanding than I’d envisaged. I knew, however, that I needed to try to balance things out so I gave it my all and still gave myself breaks where I could.

Before powering up 30 Hive today, my Hive Power(HP) stood at 2,600. So, in the end, I had a growth of 439 HP for November which is 1 HP short of what I had last month. It’s still beautiful to me and I’m very grateful for it. For my December goal, I’m looking forward to reaching 3,000 HP. Looking at my stats these past months, I think it’s a feasible goal and I’ll be absolutely overjoyed when I reach and potentially surpass that milestone.

HBD Savings

In my November Power-up post, I’d said that I’d be focusing on growing my Hive Power so my HBD savings wouldn’t be so much into consideration. It was a way of telling everyone and myself in particular not to look forward to any major growths as far as my HBD Savings are concerned. I guess I knew that I’d be making a few withdrawals to take care of my pressing personal needs.

However, I’m glad that I still managed to add a little something to my Savings. I began last month with 225 HBD and I was able to add 25 HBD, despite my withdrawals, making it a total of 250. I’m glad for it and I certainly hope that I can keep growing more of it. Like last month, I’ll still have my primary focus on my HP. But all things being equal, I expect good tidings to still accrue here as well.

This month is a month that I earnestly pray would be filled with joy, laughter love, and good stories to share for everyone. I’ll keep doing my best as usual and I hope all the amazing authors of Hive keep doing what they do best. Happy New Month to everyone. Have a blessed month ahead.
