First off, Happy New Years everyone 🎊🎉 As we step into a new year we often have hopes and set up expectations for ourselves. I want to hit the ground running and make a push forward not looking back. Today I will share with you my Hive goals for 2024, one resolution I have,some hopes and my HPUD/HPUM.
2024 Hive Goals
With out a doubt my biggest goal will be obtaining more HP. I believe this should be everyone's goal, get it and grow! Currently I'm sitting just under 2300 HP and I would like to be at 5500 HP this time next year. To reach I would need to gain 266 and change of hive each month.
To assists with my HP goal I plan on being more active with publishing more. Currently I'm just under posting once every three days. My goal for 2024 will be once every other day, so for a number my target is 180 posts. I'll even go out and say I will get a weekly author badge. I think I will have to forecast out a bit and plan to write in certain communities on particular days.
I have been putting some HBD away into savings as of late. I'd like to be able to add more to it in 2024. It may seem small but I want to be at $200 without counting any interest. So that will mean adding another 158 HBD. At 20% interest rate it could mean flexing bigger power ups in the future saving it.
I'm pleased to announce I will be announcing a new community here at Hive on 6 January. My goal for the community is to provide a weekly post on Saturdays. I have two drafts finished and another in the works. I have recently thought about continuing doing drafts ahead of time. I have really got hooked on it a bit since reading about it recently from a post from @cmplxty where he celebrated posting every day for three long years.
So there you have it a few goals I have for Hive in 2024. Just HP, # of posts,saving more HBD and running a community. Some other little goals are continuing my HPUD and HPUM streaks.
Resolutions
I'm not one to usually come up with NY Resolutions. I have always had the mentality to just start something and not wait for a particular timeframe. I'm doing one this year because the timing lines up. So for my resolution it will be simply investing in myself. I have a few ailments that need to be taken care of.
One is to receive treatment for a bad shoulder I got. I have been to the doctor already for it and was prescribed pain medicine. The pain pills unfortunately did nothing for it. The medical plan the doctor set up was to have physical therapy if the pills didn't work. All I have to do after the 1st of the year is to set up an appointment with the doctor to get a referral for physical therapy. The road to recovery will be dependent on that physical therapy. Hopeful no surgery will be required.
The other ailment involves dental work. Recently I had a filling break off my tooth. There's more I had pain near that tooth before that happened. So it's very likely I need a root canal as well. I got good health insurance but my dental insurance is not so good. So to make this happen I will need to work hard at my part job and earn.
Hopes
I have two hooes that are on my radar this year. One is to provide a good high school graduation party for my son. I'd like to be able to do it away from the house. It would be nice to do at a park and do some barbecue. Two factors will weigh in money and weather. The other hope will be a few months after that.
We have plans to visit my mother and sisters in South Dakota. Instead of checking out the Black Hills again we are hoping to venture further west to Yellowstone. It's been a long time since I was there, I was just a young boy.
HPUD/HPUM
Here we are a holiday and a Hive Power Up Day! Since I started here a few days into
February I haven't missed a HPUD. I have also had a streak of publishing about it. My first post about it was in April and continues to this one. It's always exciting powering up on the first. It's the one day for me that I power up the most Hive for the month.
Here's my power up for today. Not huge but every little bit counts. Since I'm powering up I have also decided to power up someone else. Why not get someone else a step forward into the new year. Usually I do fresh newbies who I don't know but today I picked someone I know that's only been here a short while.
I started doing the HPUM thing back in August. I am proud to be able to get this badge for 5 months in a row. I find it fun to do as I like a good challenge. I tell you this is not an easy thing to accomplish. It was really a challenge to do this month during the holidays. A matter of fact I almost forgot today because I was busy doing this and that. Oh that would have been crushing to fail on the last day.
Well Happy #HPUD #HPUM and New Years. I hope you have have a great year ahead. Hoping all your goals, hopes and resolutions are fulfilled. Take care and stay safe ❤️ Until next time!
Cheers man! Glad to see that you’ve got a new community kicking off next week, that’s awesome! I think one of my favorite things is jumping into a community and building it from the ground up. You have to find something that people will want, and spread the message around for but it ends up being quite a bit of fun! I’ll be looking forward to your community post, I’ll subscribe to it and see if I can drop a post or two in there!
Good job on the power up and powering up someone else! That’s a wonderful thing to do and it’s great to pay it forward by helping out other people. I think you can get to your hive goals! You can subtract 3% of that from what you need from hive inflation. That gives you a little bit of hive power every day, I think it’s every 8 hours but I don’t know for sure. Plus the curation rewards are great when they kick up!
For your health challenges - have you tried acupuncture for your shoulder? That’s done wonders for my wife in her issues with her back and allergies. It does great for pain and it is pretty inexpensive! A lot of health plans are covering it these days so you should look into that! If it doesn’t though, I still seriously recommend it. It’s a lot better than pain pills which are brutal for your life if you get addicted and it’s not surgery, which nobody truly wants. Hopefully you can get some relief from it!
I would stay away from a root canal - if you have 60 minutes I highly recommend watching this incredible documentary The Root Cause on how bad root canals are for our bodies. Not trying to scare you but they are not good!

The community is something I think will be fun. I made some hard but I think obtainable Hive goals. I will review them quarterly.
The shoulder I have also tried heat packs, cream, and even got a massage or two. Only really temporarily relief. I'm hoping it's not a torn rotator cup. I have a lot of symptoms of that but I'm not a doctor. Maybe acupuncture might aid it's not a too expensive as my insurance probably covers it.
The root canal video dang, hehe. I watched enough to realize I should take it more serious. Never realized all those health and mental issues could be the cause of root canal cavity. I had one in my thirties that I waited too long to take care of, I won't wait that long this time.
Hope you give acupuncture a whirl! It's great, I've done it a few times myself!
The root canal stuff.. it's crazy! You should watch the whole thing. It's pretty wild and makes a lot of sense. These doctors aren't recommending all kinds of other stuff that make them money, but to stay away from the root canals because they are truly no bueno!
Happy New Year and Happy Hive Power Up Day ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ. Good Luck on the goals, same goals here powering up HP and saving HBD. Though no initial numbers yet but I'll make it as a goal. So good luck to us and hope to see our account grow here as we also grow out circle of virtual friends here.
Happy New Years and Happy Power up day as well. Cheers 🥂 to smashing it on Hive and making new friends along the way 😊

Do you have any tips for Yellowstone? It's on my list this year 😀
Thank you and I wish you the same. Well I was five years old when I last was there. I'm planning on going in August and haven't exactly planned it out yet but I know quite a few that have that I will be talking to. Are you going before or after that?
Happy HPUD Bob! Glad to see your hard work here and I'm very proud on you my afam buddy😁.
Happy new year!
Thank Jean. Happy HPUD and New Year to you.
You’re crashing it here Bob! 5500 total is a great goal for the year ahead. I’m sure you’ll be able to achieve it with ease. I’m thinking of a similar goal, but for both of my accounts together.
Weekly author badges are not too difficult to achieve once in a while. I have a couple of those on my alt, as posting daily actifit reports makes it easier.
Glad to see that you have your health as you new year’s resolution too! There is nothing more important than health.
What community are you starting? Your own? Or joining an existing one as part of the team?

I'm super excited to head it up. I have a lot on ice cream as it my favorite dessert 🍦🍨
I do love ice cream, but I had to ease on it due to health. I enjoy it occasionally when I’m out and about, but don’t buy them to sit in my freezer or else I stuff my face with it every evening 😂
Hehe that happens to me sometimes it has a short shelf life in my freezer

Congratulations to you.. And for sure, you'll be able to get your target this year..
I'm looking forward to seeing your photos on your next trip ☺️ Yellowstone sounds interesting

Thank you I hope I can make good use of my time to meet them 😊 Yellowstone is definitely a remarkable place other than seeing on T.V. I don't remember all that much when I visited it last. Heck I was even called by a different name at that time by everyone, hehe. I hope I can get out as much as I did last year. I have a lot of grinding to do in a lot of ways to make that trip along with some other things.
