Cause for Celebration!
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!

happy hive power up day man..
Thanks, I wish the same to you as well!
Uh, a four year old beer? It does not age like wine or spirits. I'd rather skip the bottle :)
No, it was really good. I promise!
I trust you then :))
Life is good when we celebrate our small victories. Celebration can go as long as marking it with some simple things of life and you will be happy doing that.
Happy power up day to you and that was quite a big Hive to power up.
I love coffee, the taste, the smell are something I have come to acclamatized myself to. Enjoy your celebration.
Thanks, I appreciate it. I have to admit, it is definitely more fun to celebrate than it is to be sad!
That is it. Let the celebration keep on...
Celebrating every moment is so good and this bear is looking nice. I am sure you would've enjoyed it

There's a cool reward pool for those who join 🫡
You won't regret joining!
Well, everyday is always a power up day for me though. Even though it is little and by the time I calculate it at the end of each month, I have powered up to 300 HP
Nice job! That's a great accomplishment!
After April when I have liquidity been planing to buy a stack of Hive just for HPUD same goes for LEO just to participate, be part of the gang since its hard for me to buy crypto locally, not easy task, have to go through hoops and jumps some times, you just remind me when I use to work as IT at an office, the support INBOX, OMG some times I got to the point to HATE Outlook, we had it on a big screen at the office, we were three IT and take rounds at support desk, every single time a notification came up I was like NOW WHAT!! sometimes it was just minor things but I was young and had a temper, good old office days, cheers for HPUD 🍻
I tried to implement a ticket system a while ago, but people are so used to just emailing me that it never quite took. Makes my inbox a bit messy sometimes though. I think it is going to be smart to stack as much Hive as we can right now. Then when the price pumps move it into HBD as quickly as you can. Wait for the price to go back down, then move it back.
We use to have a ticket system, but the ticket system create an email notification per ticket and after updates on the ticket 😄, who knows we might be seen prices that will never get back
Yeah, that is the drawback of a ticket system. All the emails!
I’m very organized with my email inbox as well, and have roughly 20 folders. But within those folders are more folders on several of them.
I’m not a coffee fan either but the smell of a fresh brew is nice. That stout looks good, gonna have to try and find it.
Oh yes, I have folders nested inside of folders as well!
Happy HPUD - that was a very nice power up !!!!
Thank you!
Never tried that one, I'll have to keep an eye out. Nice HPUD power up! Some beer sounds good right about now!

KBS is one of my all time favorites for sure. CBS is the holy grail of you can get you hands on it. That’s KBS aged in maple barrels! Even better is finding older versions of CBS that were aged In Canadian maple barrels. Those bottle have a Canadian mountie riding a horse in the label. Bottle aged in us maple barrel just have the horse.
Good to know, I will have to keep an eye out for that. It definitely sounds interesting. As long as the maple isn't too overpowering I should be good!
