Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Well, I'm happy to say that I finally hashed the numbers this morning, and from that I decided on my 2026 Primary Hive Goals. Given that I'm now contributing/donating a portion of my income, both from adding community accounts as beneficiaries on all my posts, and by sending 1 SWAP.HIVE daily to @aliveandthriving (45 SWAP.HIVE in total so far), to building and growing the 'We Are Alive Tribe' decentralized community financial system and economy, my 2026 Primary Hive Goals are a little bit more modest than I would have otherwise chosen, and that's OK, because the long-term benefit will be well worth my community investment.

So what are my main 2026 Hive Goals for my account? I chose 25,000 Hive Power and 750 HBD in Savings, which would be stretches, but achievable stretches based on my present resources, so I feel good about them, though I'm certainly still going to have to work to achieve them before the end of the year. I presently gain almost 5,000 HP in a year's time, which would take me a bit over 21,000 HP, so I tagged on an extra 4,000 HP to make my goal a bit more challenging.

Not counting HBD from the Pepe Game (14 HBD total withdrawn from the game so far), I gain just under 75 HBD yearly, which would take me to a bit under 700 HBD in Savings, so I bumped that up by 50, to make me work a little more to reach this year-end goal. I'm still keeping an eye on the Hive Debt, but I've decided to keep growing my HBD in Savings as much as I'm able, because honestly I don't think that I should have to sacrifice due to the notable mismanagement of Hive's economy. I'm staying the course.

As I've mentioned in a few previous posts, I'm also considering adding Secondary 2026 Hive Goals for a handful of layer-2 assets, such as ALIVE, BBH, DAB, DBOND, and RUG, as well as a few 2026 Hive Goals for the We Are Alive Tribe, though I haven't had time yet to focus on the particularities and numbers just yet. For community goals, I'm thinking of perhaps choosing weekly HIVE and SWAP.HIVE income, HBD in Savings, liquid BEE (since we need a whole lot of that for pool creation and management), and the aggregated total amount of Hive Power for community accounts in our curation trail, though those would entail quite a bit more tracking, which would require more of my limited time.

The newly rebranded and relaunched Slothly Savers Club already has its official week-2 post published on the @slothbuzz account, so I've still got to comment my above-mentioned 2026 Primary Hive Goals there, and also do one last round of number hashing, to determine the total amount of ALIVE, ALIVEM, and BBH to send for prizes/rewards each week. I'm liking how my new slothly friends are getting things rolling once again, and how they're setting the stage for the coming year. I highly recommend that y'all participate in this fun-and-useful relaunched community inititative, as it's very mutually-beneficial, and good for all of us.

Yesterday, Wednesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just before 2:30PM. I had a session scheduled for 1:30PM, though that had to be rescheduled, so I focused on land work instead. Photography for my posts occupied my attention first, however, and thankfully with more sun, I was able to get a nice batch of lovely shots. After photography, I decided to go sunbathe on the trampoline for a short while, as after 3-days straight of clouds and rain, I was strongly craving sunshine. Once I felt well sunned, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, after which I collected a few tools, and I went to continue with my thorough weeding job of what's left of the fenced garden, which I continued until just before sunset. After wrapping weeding up for the day, I headed back to the other side of the property, to take shower, make myself some food (mini spiced-and-seasoned beef patties, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack chees, and Dijon mustard) in the Landing, collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and finally to return to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks. I had a whole lot of notifications last night, but thankfully I was able to get through them all by just after 11:30PM, and after more asset management, I went to bed by just before 11:45PM. I woke up around 3:30AM, and unable to get back to sleep immediately, I got up to do a little asset management, and to scan Qortal chat groups, before making another partially-successful attempt at sleep around 4AM. I woke up again, quite late, by just before 8AM, still feeling that I needed a bit more sleep, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then heading back to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 1PM, so it's a marvelous time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for my posts, on straining and blending coconut kefir (I've been meaning to do this for 2 days now), and then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2026 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
