I watched the sun rise on another Hive Power Up Day 🐝

avatar

I started the first day of our Southern Hemisphere winter the same way I've started most of my ever-shortening, ever-colder days the last month or so:

☀️ Slowly taking my time to get out of bed

☀️ Getting myself a big glass of water to drink, and

☀️ Turning my bare eyes and face toward to rising sun with no glass or glasses to block its magnificent and important (red) light.

To be honest, I forgot it was the 1st of the month. I forgot it was the official beginning of winter. And I forgot it was Power Up Day.

All these rememberings came later in the day, when I was less sleepy and more connected with a reality beyond the sunrise, the flowers around me and the grass under my feet.

I did very little on Hive this month. I'm still struggling to spend as much time in screens as I did. I have limited motivation to write or read anything on a screen currently. I thought it was a phase, if it is, it's a long one.

But if you scroll through my Blog you'll see I did, in fact, write some things. If you scroll through my Comments, you'll see I did, in fact, have some interactions with others (thanking them for their kind words, saying kind or silly things on friends posts or sharing the occasional challenging one). And if you look through the Transactions in my Wallet you'll see I put small scraps down to Savings and finally remembered to convert some more HBD to HIVE today after powering up my regular 10.000 HIVE.

Yes, I powered up. Yes, I'm hovering just under a reputation of 70 so why the hell not. Yes, I still think HPUD and, indeed Hive, are fabulous and worthwhile uses of my time.

Now if only I could get as excited about writing online again as I currently am about having my bare feet on the cold, wet grass outside my home I'd be set. 😄 🏡 🌞

How's your June looking?

Awww. Sister...how has it been? It must be hard cutting back because of what it's doing to your eyes. And I love your feet. Is blue your favorite color?

Hi! Actually, my eyes are heaps better. I'm so glad you mentioned this because I had forgotten how bad they were. I'm still unmotivated to do much on the screen but it doesn't seem to really hurt the way it did before. So that's a win! 🙌

Teal (like a blue/green) is probably my favourite colour. That's the colour of my toe nail polish in that bare foot shot (though it might like blue in the photo). I do love blue though. And pink. And coral. And white. And rainbows. And, you know, the preciousness of life. All the things. 😂😍😄

😂😂😂. You sound a lot like someone really close to me. I never knew Teal was a color. In fact, I have no idea most of the colors in the world. Lol. I hope you are well and able to fill your time with beautiful things of life...you seem to enjoy that alot.

Happy HPUD Day and grats on the powerup! I haven't dared look at my wallet yet to see if I'll be able to join the party, but there are still a few hours to go 😹

I have limited motivation to write or read anything on a screen currently. I thought it was a phase, if it is, it's a long one.

Needs, wants, and motivations always change, and I think that's a good thing. Imagine how boring life would be if every day was a repetition of all the others before it! Perhaps it has to do with learning and evolving? Like, once you've gotten all the knowledge you can hold about a particular thing from a particular source, you need to go digest and use that knowledge somewhere before coming back for more?

For me, the need/want to be on Hive is slowly coming back, but it's also going towards summer here so how I'll combine that with my desire to spend whole days outdoors BBQing and reading, I have no idea!

I shall have to go check your Posts to see if you did a HPUD post next!

Totally! How wise you are. Thanks for reminding me. 😄🙏 I do know this but I forget all the time.

Makes total sense. I'm always, endlessly learning in all areas of my life so why would Hive be any different?

!LOL I guess we shall see. 😁

No, I didn't do a powerup. I could have... but I decided to by 10 more SORT tokens instead before the price goes up again. Right now, I think that's better for me, since that investment doesn't depend on me being active.
