It's July! It's Hot! Thoughts and the HPUD!

Dear Hivers!

Total summertime now.

We've passed the halfway point of the year today with the change of month, and the months go by, and half a year has already passed. It's crazy, time, as I always say, flies.

All that's left for us is to enjoy the present, the warmth of these days, cooling off in the sea, gazing at the horizon under the sun, and dreaming of relaxation. We've earned it, haven't we?

Happy JULY! 😎🪭

Thoughts After Another Month

I'm here, exactly one month later. How has this past June been for us?

Taking stock after half a year, I realize June has been strange. It started with a lot of stress and overwhelm, still taking exams, after a long month of studying and doing a lot at the same time—too much accumulated intensity, and somehow that took its toll.

Despite everything, the results have been good, very good, although, being the perfectionist I am, there are details I would have liked to improve. But with so little time to dedicate to each thing, it was practically impossible to do better, being human. Or so I think. So I have to learn to value what I do, what I've done, and judge mistakes less, because despite the circumstances, I've done well, and I should be proud of myself.

Also all of this on top of a heat wave that arrived without warning, earlier than expected, actually, and studying and doing things in the heat isn't the best, to be honest. The heat is fine when you have free time, but not so much when you have obligations. But anyway, I finished quickly. The busy first week of June gave way to other, more relaxed activities. I dedicated time to myself: the gym, some shopping I'd been meaning to do, the house, and all those things we keep putting off until we have more time. But the most interesting task for several days has been taking my little niece for walks in her stroller so she'd fall asleep while I looked for shade in a park. I'll show you some of those lush, green parks soon. A good alternative when it's really hot like now!

And always better with the fan...

Almost forgotten but no. So, and now, the HPUD as usual of course:

Hive Power Up Day

Well I'd say that despite all I keep somehow my presence here, and now today, day 1st of the new month let's focus on the HPUD, it is therefore my 43th Power Up Day in total. In my case it is the 7th of 2026 obviously now in June, after January, February, March, April, May and June of course. At least I still keep my habit of be part of the HPUD.

So let's go with this new Hive Power Up Day, hivers!💪

Unlike previous months, I've decided to do a bigger Power Up, 100 HP again! Like in the better days of the past. I'm doing this because I've seen that little by little, thanks to delegations and similar contributions, I've been able to save and accumulate a certain amount of Hive despite hardly posting anything these last six months. So let's celebrate these days full of energy, sunshine, and life. We'll see what the next few months bring. I hope to participate a bit more, at least during the summer, and continue accumulating Hive, and hope all our summer plans will be good and Hive ecosystem too.

So we conclude this usual report, mission accomplished, this time with more calm! Good!

Finally, I wish you all the best and also for Hive, that it may return to its former glory, that it may rise again and give us more motivation and hope to continue here, with more HPUD reports and much more to come.

And let's enjoy this summer with heat, although at least we have the beach!🤞🏖️

Happy HPUD & Happy July!🪭😎
