Tremendous Things Happening For Hive, Come On 2022!

Finally Getting Into The Spirit

Over the past few years I've not really had much of a Christmas spirit, if I'm being honest. When little Rick was born, I knew we were going to have to pick it up a bit and start getting into the holidays again. Last X-Mas he was only about 5 months old so we didn't have to do much. But this year we felt like he would really get a kick out of opening presents.

For the first time in at least 10 years, we put up a Christmas tree! That may seem crazy to some, but for us it was just too much of a hassle. We spent so much time working long hours that we couldn't muster the energy to put up the tree and all the lights.

This year I set my mind to it and actually enjoyed it for once. I've been dealing with depression and personal issues for years now, but have really been coming out of it. One thing about being deeply depressed is that when you are in the throes of it, you can't even imagine that there is a way to feel the joy that you used to. However, when you finally start to peek out, those old happy feelings that you thought were gone forever start to creep back in.

Something about watching my son tear into those gifts and get excited about his presents really sparked something in me. I guess you would call it Christmas Spirit!

I can definitely be a bit of a negative Nancy when I start ranting about the commercialism of holidays and how they are all a scam to get people to waste their money. The stress of the expectation of the perfect present can be difficult for a person like myself who isn't a natural at gift hunting.

That being said, something was different about me this year. Perhaps it was what we've all been going through with the pandemic. Somehow I was able to let all of my cynicism and negativity go and really enjoy the experience of Christmas shopping. That was very new for me, but I'll take it!

Hive - The Gift that Keeps Giving

As for me, I got some great gifts this year. For one, @afturner got me a new XBox Series X, which she had to hunt for far and wide. That was a X-Mas miracle in itself! She also got me some more Garbage Pail Kids to add to my massive collection. I've been collecting them since 1985 when they first came out! Some things never change.

But the biggest gift of all is all the great progress that Hive has been making. So much has been happening and continues to happen! When Hive broke $3, my eyeballs almost exploded! Just go over to @hiveio's page and check this post out to see some of the great things that have been happening.

One of the biggest things I am excited about is the upcoming Ragnarok game. How cool is it that the NFTs will be airdropped to Hive holders? How awesome is that? Be sure to check out the game design document. This is just amazing stuff, guys. A big shout out to @theycallmedan for financing this and making it possible.

Also I hear there are going to be some airdrops from Leo Finance / Cub. I don't know enough to talk about it, but there are plenty of people who do. Check out this post by @edicted. He talks about even more stuff that's going down.

Everyone is talking about how much incredible stuff is happening with Hive these days. I get a strong feeling that we are about to seriously get noticed in the greater crypto community. In a big way.

Here's looking forward to 2022, my friends! I can't wait.
