Greetings ASEAN Hivers, this week's challenge is not the first or last time we will have a chance to showcase our pets for our fellow ASEAN Hivers.

🐰 ASEAN Hive Pet Pals 🐱

👨‍💻 Week #140 👩‍💻

^{December 13th ➡️ December 21st, 2024}

     This challenge is way late, apologies for that, but I've been traveling from the USA back to Cambodia, and have only just now arrived back at my home in a remote part of the Cardamom Mountains National Park. I have extended the expiration date of this challenge beyond Monday's usual due date, but next week's challenge should be back on the normal schedule. There are many new community members in recent months, so even though this isn't the first pet-themed challenge, it's a good opportunity for us all to learn a little more about each other.

     I want to see your pets, it's pretty simple. Of course photos, details, the story, are all what makes a post engaging and entertaining to read. Even pets from your past are welcome too, you could perhaps do a tribute or remembrance post of an old pet. Fish, birds, any type of pet is welcome, even insects, heck, I'll even allow a pet rock if you can create an entertaining post about it. I look forward to your participation and can't wait to see old and new ASEAN Hive pets.

Week #140 ASEAN Hive Challenge Winners
🥅 Goals For 2025 🤔

     It was very insightful for me to see the 2025 goals of some of my fellow community members. We're quite an eclectic bunch with various backgrounds, cultures, religions, and ways of life, so the posts submitted highlighted some of these differences that make our community beautiful and diverse. Whether it be dealing with loss, setting financial goals, even Hive-related goals, there were many approaches to this topic, and the three winners below are all worth your time and consideration.

1st Prize 🏆 10% Beneficiary & 150 Ecency Points

I Am Positive That The Year 2025 Will Be A Rose Colored Glass Journey And Fruitful
by: @diosarich

The year 2024 is a mixture of struggles, pains, and challenges for me and my family. The battles we face are often intense times of weakness, distress, and confusion but God is no less with us during difficulties than at other times. As one article I have read before: "Live life more abundantly — that we might become more fruitful". I have discovered that when I lose that attitude of thanksgiving and gratefulness, I have gone back into the flesh somehow.

Dear Universe, Here's Our Annual Meeting!
by: @straykat

Hello, 2025! Ah, the time for fresh beginnings and reset! So have you began fulfilling your New Year goals? As for me, I've decided to stay lowkey and not think much of what my goals are for this year because I could even barely follow my daily tasks.

"Come what may but still give my best in every situation."

This is my motto at the beginning of this year because sometimes, the more I'm eager to achieve something, the more it slips away from my hand. So I will be thankful whatever goals I would be achieving this year.

3rd Prize 🥉 4% Beneficiary & 75 Ecency Points

ASEAN Hive Community Challenge #140 Goals For 2025
by: @usagigallardo015

Blessed Sunday @asean.hive community 🙏🏻. Honestly I felt that we had a good start for this year. But all of sudden unexpected things happened, a promise or a resolution was broken. Goals are like plans, if you plan to have a better life it will help you to work harder on that. After I learned something about myself my goals were suddenly becomes questionable. But while you see me active writing here in hive, it means I'm still fighting to live my life.
