"Little progress is better than no progress at all. Success comes in taking many small steps." - John C. Maxwell

I did it!! This 1st day of December is a special day for the Hive community. I always read about it when I first landed on this platform. HPUD is one of the most awaited moments of those hives. And as one of them, I also wait for this moment to come. And finally, it arrives.

This morning I struggle on completing my Hive as it was just 9 Hives in total. And I have $5 on my HBD. I just know one thing to convert it. And it takes 3 days to complete. That's not necessary. This day is the only chance to do the power-up and it needs at least 10 hives. So I ask my discord friends how to convert it instantly. Good thing I ask, coz they teach me to do it on the wallet.hive.blog/market. That is the site I was searching for, but can't find it without asking for assistance from those who know.

So I immediately open that site... Buy 16.367 hives with my 5.958 HBD, then click "Ok".

That solves my problem of just having 9 hives in total. So, now... I have more than 10 hives to do the power-up. But after reading some posts regarding the HPUD, I read one rule that "Your total HIVE Power (before the 1st) must be more than 100 and less than 8000." That makes me sad again, knowing I don't have that big amount of HP. I'm just 25 days old in Hive with some inactive weeks after my cellphone got broken.

Now I'm using our laptop, but have a limit on using it because of being a full-time mom. But because I have some hives to power up, why not use it still for that goal? So I did. I powered up, then voila, my HP got added.

I have now 52.314 HP. That's too small compared to those who's using Hive for a long time and of course to those users who have a lot of time here.

But still, I'm happy it got added, and after trying my first upvote with that HP, I can see the improvement.

Yeah, it's now $0.001 compared to $0.000 before. I love to see that number. It adds to the value at least. And after some more minutes, @hivebuzz mentioned me in his comment, and here it is:
