Well, what do you know? Countdown to the end of April has begun. It's also back to work today after my somewhat long weekend. 😝 I'd say it was a pretty good break, although I have not finished working on my postcards to send out. 😒 I chose to do some cleaning instead, so I had to postpone it.

Neighbors closed early yesterday that I had more time for my walking exercise outside. It's a two in one activity for me -- I allot an hour away from my keyboard to cool down outside and walk around my terrace garden. I also leave the screen door open a little so the kitties can enjoy going in and out of the flat. For my second day of experiment, I was able to do 1989 steps. I'm definitely making observations and taking notes on whether this really helps me improve my mobility (my main goal). I do need my cane on my side as it does get challenging the more I walk. 🙃
After a long break, I ordered water tanks refill today. Initially, I was afraid the refills would not be delivered right away. Thankfully, I got them quite early. Whew!
Prompt A Day : Quote
"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin
shoutout to @shadowspub for the daily prompt (subscribe to her newsletter) Side note: I came by a
goodreads page that says this quote was originally from Xunzi, apparently written by Xun Kuang who was a Chinese Confucian philosopher. You can read more from the link. 😉
Anyway, I learned a similar quote in my masteral studies as I was learning better ways to teach preschoolers. That was back in the days. Gosh it makes me feel like that was a lifetime ago. 😅 I do believe this applies to all ages though. We do learn better when we're truly interested to learn. Learning is a lifelong process. I don't believe we should stop learning at all. There's always something new to learn or something old to relearn or perhaps find better ways of doing things. 😉 Hands on learning is for me the best way to learn.
Hive Goals
Here are the updated figures for the week:
Hive Power: 14501.127 --> 14523.325
HBD Savings: 185.606 --> same
Alive Power: 227.232 (liquid) ; staked 45.1K; 24K delegated --> 238.810 (liquid) ; staked 45.2K; 24K delegated
STARBITS: 2007778 --> 1908362
LEN:LENM = 73.921 --> 74.607
ALIVE:ALIVEM = 664.109 --> 671.272
Today I decided to trim down my tracking list. I'm still HODLing most tokens I receive though. I just think it's simpler for me if I focus on the ones that I have set goals. Main goals: 15K HP, 200 HBD, 75K AP (staked & delegated). I purchased some cards on rising star game the past week so my stash of Starbits dropped a bit. I will need to keep adding to my cards but I'm just taking it slow a bit for now.
See you next week for more tracking...

Nine days and counting. A part of me is glad that April is almost ending, but I'm not sure until when this hot weather will persist. I continue to monitor weather news daily esp. to watch out for the heat index. Can someone send me some rain? 😂 I do miss it now.

I actively work on these affiliate sites daily. I'm getting nearer cash out limit in LL. I will definitely post updates when I cash out.
My day comes to an end. It's a wrap. Be back tomorrow for another update. My #aliveandthriving anniversary comes within the week. Come to think of it, I don't know how I'll celebrate it yet. 😆 Have a fantastic week ahead. Nighty night from Manila. Ta-tah! 👋
