It's interesting the things that we choose to celebrate each day as we walk this round ball in floating in the void of space. In fact, just the other day I was able to get my work inbox down to a single email. That's pretty impressive if you consider the number of emails I get on a daily basis.
It was fleeting of course as now my inbox is back up to ten emails. I like keeping a clean inbox. If I have an issue that is not resolved, the email about it stays in my inbox until it is completed. Then I quickly move it to the appropriate folder. I may not have many emails in my inbox, but I have probably close to 50 different folders that I keep my past emails in.
One for each vendor, one for emails from work people, one for emails from students, one for emails from parents of students, one for my professional communities, etc. It's a lot of information thrown at us on a daily basis.
While getting my email down to a single email was a big deal personally for me, not many other people probably care about it. Today as a collective on Hive, we celebrate Hive Power Up Day. I definitely think that is something worth celebrating.
I still contend that every day should be power up day on Hive,
but I also acknowledge the fact that people need to cash out their earnings for a wide variety of reasons and having a specific day that we dedicate to growing our account is never a bad thing. Depending on how you take your rewards, you are probably powering up each time you collect rewards by default. Having that extra reminder is never a bad thing though.
In honor of today's HPUD, I decided to power up 100 HIVE. This is a big deal for me because I have been trying to get as much HIVE liquid as possible to have on hand for the next time the price pumps. I want to have some funds I can quickly move into HBD to take gains. Unfortunately, the @dailydab keeps sabotaging my efforts by releasing tokens.
The stack I had ready to go for the bull run went into a nice chunk of DBOND tokens the other day during their final public sale.
Still, I managed to scrape together some more tokens and did the power up you see above.
Sometimes the things we celebrate can be as simple as a good beer and a nice meal from the grill.
I was grilling last Saturday and I dug down deep in the bottom drawer of my fridge to pull out this tasty treat. As you can see, it was bottled just about four years ago in 2019. You would probably think it had gone a bit skunky by then, but that wasn't the case.
I've heard a lot of good things about KBS, but I this was my first time trying it and I have to admit, it was delicious. It was thick and rich and creamy. It was the perfect beer to warm you up while grilling outside on a 40 degree F day.
At 12.2% alcohol it packs a punch too. After having my last Oktoberfest before this one, I was feeling pretty good by the time the meat was coming off the grill.
I'll be the first to admit, I am not really a fan of coffee. I like the smell, but the taste is something I have never acclimated to. However, pair that flavor subtly with a beer and you have my full attention.
If you are ever lucky enough to get your hands on a bottle of this, I highly recommend you try it out. I am sure @cryptictruth will agree with me.
It's amazing how the pairing of beer and bourbon are so complementary to each other I guess that is the reason people use to head to the bar and order a shot and a shell, boilermaker, or shot with a beer back in the old days.
Whatever you are celebrating this week, make the most of it. We need these small victories in life to make the less fun stuff more manageable.
Drink that beer, eat that steak, get two scoops of ice cream instead of one, and live a little! There's so much more to live than cleaning out your email inbox!
