This is my first power-up post. I'm both excited and nostalgic because at first, I didn't even know what powering up is until a few months ago.

Today I powered up 20 hives in participation in the Hive PUD and also for the growth of my account.
My formal hive power was 276.495HP after powering up it increased to 296.496HP. I'm happy because it's obvious I'm going to achieve the three-month goals I set for myself.

My hive journey is great, it feels good to see that I'm growing every day because at first, it was as if I would not be able to fit in.
But now I have made a lot of friends that I look forward to reading their posts and know how they are faring.
I very much appreciate the benefits of engagement and will firmly say that it is the key to success in hive.
I knew how I felt back then writing on a platform that is filled with strangers across the globe.
I didn't know anyone apart from my onboarder and that always made me scared and insecure.
My confidence to write came when I started engaging and receiving replies to my comments and posts. I was happy because I felt that I was valued and visible. So I started writing and engaging constantly to this day.
This is only the beginning of my participation in HPUD, I am on a mission to work hard and take part in every HPUD.
Already I've made it a habit to power up every week after transferring 5 HBD to savings. I'm also planning to save up as much liquid hive as I can in preparation for what everyone here is anticipating — the bull run. I don't want to miss it!
F.R.I.D.A.Y has been a very good friend of mine, always updating me on my hive growth and all.
Today I received a notification on my monthly achievement in terms of HP, HIVE, and HBD.
I was motivated when I saw that I was very close to the milestone I set for every month.
This month I hope to round off my three-month goals and set new ones for 2024.
I truly love the way I begin December, I love the way I'm feeling. The sky looks bright and beautiful and everybody around me is smiling.
December is promising, and I hope to achieve and celebrate as it goes.
Thank you very much for reading!!!
