We got to have our first sauna in the new home last night, a luxury that we haven't had for a very long time, as our apartment, nor my last had a sauna in it. This one is wood-fired, so it is even better.
I didn't heat it too much as our daughter isn't accustomed to the sauna and we wanted to see how she'd go. She really enjoyed it. After she went to bed, my wife and I lit the fireplace and toasted marshmallows - it was nice. My daughter can't eat them, which is why we did it after she went to bed. We don't have much wood here and will have to buy some more once we get around to it and hopefully I can get some cheaply from a client of mine.
The days are long and full at the moment, but before I went to bed I did one little thing.
I converted some STEEM into HIVE and crossed the 100K barrier. That is pretty cool and a lot of HP by my measure and I never thought I'd hold this much of anything, as my own journey into crypto started "late" and on Steem, slow.
These unit biases milestones are a bit silly, but at the same time, a good marker of progress and a key reminder to reflect and see if one wants to keep buying into a project. I think that for most other tokens, these units aren't very significant as they aren't tied to a community itself, they are just numbers with a fiat value attached.
Early on, I set goals for myself, daily, weekly and monthly in order to get to certain points, but the main numbers weren't token based, it was what I could control, my content and engagement. What I would do was set a minimum amount of posts in a day and mentally track things like word count and comments made. While it wasn't accurate, it made me think about what I was actually doing, rather than just floating through without any kind of focal points. It worked for me at least.
I am not sure where I am on the rankings now, but I think it is around the 200 mark. It is funny to think that in the online community that is a pretty decent figure, yet in the real world - I struggle financially and have done for a long time. The value of this kind of amount doesn't do much for me in my life and while it would ease some issues in the short-term, if I used it I am likely never going to be able to get back to this level and it might have massive effects on my long-term position.
Since I plan on building a strong financial future, the risk has to be taken now. The risk is, I get nothing for my effort and investment from now if it all goes badly. The potential is that the same investment now has a large gain in the future. With pretty much any investment, if one isn't willing to accept the risk, the chance of the gain is removed.
Speaking of removal - Our Easter long weekend was removed as my wife has to work today and tomorrow due to overload caused by Covid-19 things - so I will be spending the time with 
Okay, off to get another day underway.
