Celebrating a small mile stone is important to boost your energy level and increase the motivation level. - there's certainly no harm in celebrating little wins . It is an avenue to reflect on what has be done , and what can be done to improve what's already on ground. The Hive journey is not a sprint race but a marathon , it takes a lot of duggedness which I'm sure you're conversant with . 8500 hp is a huge milestone if you ask me and I'm quite certain you would hit the 10k HP milestone which you've intended to reach before the end of the year . Kudos !
