Happy New Year: My 1 of 365 Daily Goals and Monthly Progress
Happy New Year! It is the first day of 2023, and it is my 1 of 365 Hive power-up daily goals and monthly progress. Indeed, it is a happy new year with a successful December 2022 HPUM and January 2023 HPUD.
Since I learned about Hive Power Up Month, or HPUM, it is now my third time to stake successfully or power up at least 1 Hive per day and my fourth time to participate in Hive Power Up Day or HPUD.
Earlier I was notified by the incredible hive buzz, with inspiring words, that I have completed and raised my power every day of the month for December 2022 daily HPUM.
Since it is the first day of the month for the year, I am participating in the Hive power-up day with a cheerful heart.
I powered up 100 Hive.
It is best to read the mechanics to know more about the HPUM and HPUD, which are the daily and monthly power-ups, and the key is to avoid powering down and never miss the daily and monthly goals.
As a beginner, one may be confused about what HPUM and HPUD are, just as I experienced in my beginning days. Check the links for a thorough understanding of HPUM and HPUD by 
Through powering up or staking Hive from a bit of redfish, I am now a Minnow, hoping to become a bigger fish just like a Dolphin at the perfect time. But I am taking smaller steps at a time as I stay consistent with my goals.
It does not matter how slow or fast my progress is, for what matters is the ability to grow my account consistently, even on the minor thing I can do.

Thinking that I have completed my goals for the month, I am always very much willing to help others grow their account, too. And now, I have staked or powered up 10 Hive to increase the size of their power bee.
Congratulations to one of the fantastic people, namely 
This 2023, I still aim to complete the 365 power-ups, and I do not have the plan to power down. I still felt like a newbie in the blockchain as I only started to learn about Hive and be active last August 2022 after my deceased sister’s motivation before she was gone eternally. And I am always rooting for her motivational words one moment in a day of my life.
Perhaps there is still more to learn, but what matters most to me is learning a little more than knowing nothing. Thus, my only goal for 2023 is never to lose the energy and enthusiasm to be active.
May the Hive power let everyone grow into a beautiful and incredible fish.
A prosperous, abundant, and successful happy New Year to everyone! Happy Hive Power Up Day and A Merry Hive Power Up Month! Good luck!
