Alive & Thriving Goals Monday : Almost Christmastime 🎄|| AATYr6 || Prompt A Day 😊
Two more days and it's Christmas eve. Tonight I've completed the eighth night of the simbang gabi. One more night and I've completed the nine-day novena. 🙏❤️💡
Took a photo of the sky last Friday. When it's not rainy, I find time to go up the rooftop to spray water on the flooring above the flat. This activity adds steps to my day.
I took time out yesterday to trek to DALI Grocery for some purchases for prepping Christmas eve dinner. I thought I'd treat myself to these drinks for the holidays. I did have quite a challenge carrying my stuff since it was also rainy. I'm wondering if these would taste great. 😆 I'll find out in a day or two.
I got excited when I saw they have restocked the chocolates on the shelf. 😅 Thought I'd treat myself to some. These should last me a couple of months. 😆 These chocolates are truly yummy. They're cheaper than Toblerone too so it's perfect for giveaways as well. 😂
These two days are by far my best activity days. 😆 Gosh all the walking is killing me though. 🙃 I think I need some regular slow days after. I will keep walking as it's my training. 💪 Wish me luck in building that strength.

I think this quote is supposed to make us feel that Christmas brings joy, hope, and renewal. This year was a particularly heavy one for me. In one way or another, I'm glad it's ending. I needed this season to slow down and make some deep reflections about life. Yes, I'm staying away from all the noise and celebrations. For once, I'd love to learn the lessons from this strange year, and hopefully, move forward with new learnings so I would not have another lousy year. 😒 In days past, I would have a different attitude towards welcoming the new year. At this point in time, I can't say I'm excited at all. It is what it is. I will just taking things as they come. Hopefully, the coming year would be better for me overall. 🙏❤️💡
Hive Goals
Here are the updated figures for the week:
Hive Power: 15283.009 --> 15313.098
HBD Savings: 205.235 --> same
Alive Power: 36.566 (liquid) ; staked 49.6K; 23K delegated --> 78.445 (liquid) ; staked 49.7K; 23K delegated
STARBITS: 2617193 --> 2717193
LEN:LENM = 98.061 --> 98.726
ALIVE:ALIVEM = 914.116 --> 918.831
ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE = 84.102 --> 92.94
Slow and steady growth continues on. I do wonder when Hive price would somehow rebound to a higher price. 🙄 Everywhere else earnings are low and expenses are high. The best way to survive is to cut costs across the board. I'm hanging on somehow. My Hive goals remain: 16K HP, 300 HBD, 75K AP. Then also to keep growing my diesel pools and second layer tokens. 🤞
Be back next week for more tracking of Hive goals.. 🎉
Nine days left in the year... keep hanging on we're almost at the end of a strange year. I do not want to think of what 2026 will bring. No more expectations for now. I will simply do my best in facing whatever will be coming. Inshallah!
I actively work on these affiliate sites daily. Just crossed to $2 on LL, so my goal is to reach $3 asap.
This is it. It's a wrap for the second to the last Monday of the year. One more work day, then hopefully I can manage to balance a restful yet productive vacation. 🍀 Do have a wonderful day and have yourself a Merry little Christmas 🎄 Nighty night from Manila. Ta-tah! 👋

What a good idea for Christmas Eve.
Those drinks are sure to be delicious and perfect to accompany dinner.
How lucky you found chocolates, it is always a pleasure to treat yourself, especially at this time of year.
Also, how practical that they are more accessible and tasty to give as gifts.
