TL;DR: It finally happened: all 2025 goals reached! HP ✅ HBD ✅ EDSI ✅ BBHO ✅ BXT ✅ LEO ✅ Now it’s time to reflect, plan for 2026, and take a moment to breathe.
This week marks a milestone I’ve been building toward all year: every single one of my 2025 Saturday Savers goals is now officially ticked off. Hive Power? ✅ 15,176 HP -> check. BBHO? ✅ Over 11,500 and counting. EDSI? ✅ Sitting at a cozy 280. BXT? ✅ Locked in past 500. LEO? ✅ Steady growth past 545. And HBD? ✅ Done weeks ago.
Feels pretty damn good to see the spreadsheet finally turn completely green. It’s the kind of visual dopamine hit only spreadsheet nerds and Hive addicts can truly understand.
Now comes the tricky part: what’s next? Do I rest for the last few weeks of the year? Absolutely not. I’m still cruising, staking, curating, and building, while thinking hard about my 2026 goals. Should I go for 25,000 HP? Maybe even 30,000 HP? Push HBD toward 2,500? Or start stacking DUO to climb the richlist there? (Currently sitting around 1,079 DUO, and that’s just not brag-worthy yet 😏).

Life, of course, keeps doing its thing. My youngest is preparing for surgery soon, so a lot of energy has gone into organizing, preparing, and trying to keep everyone’s spirits up. Our daughter’s situation has been… complicated too, wheelchair fittings, medical meetings, logistics, and emotions all rolled into one big “life before Hive” reminder.
So yes, Hive is my fun, my creative outlet, and my digital garden — but family always comes first. I’m balancing it as best as I can, and that means sometimes I’m less active here, but trust me, I’m still watching, still building, still here.
So yeah, this week’s theme is gratitude and growth. I’m beyond thankful for how this community supports and inspires consistency. Whether it’s savings, staking, or building cool tools, it’s all part of the same game: showing up every week and making small progress, even when life throws curveballs.
Let’s keep jivin’, keep hivin’, and keep learning. 2025 goals? Done. 2026 goals? Loading...
