*Vacations are soooo close and I am still going to work!!?? Yep, getting some fun and family memories of course. Would advise everyone to do the same if possible. Covid is trying to change our lives, but we must adapt the best we can!*

# Getting to 70k Staked HIVE

Before 6th of January... that's my target! Will I make it? Not sure 100%, but I am 99% sure I will try all I can to achieve it.

Kids and I decided to help with a little art moment using chalk in order to remember what this is all about. This was moments before the real assassination of art started 🤣

# Remembering the past...

Because it helps plan the future! Because it's how we evolve... we all start like insignificant beautiful and unique creatures that one day mature, give life (sometimes), and become great beings that change others' future lives.

# Ordering a new 🤠Hat

Do you recall me ordering a RisingStar hat on a not-so-distant post?

You might also have come across the comment where I said my wife stole it from me... 😈 - it was getting hard to get convinced that she actually looks better on it than me...

So, after a while, I thought "black" would be a better fit for me... and after seeing this great dude 👉 (@new.things) wearing one... I was sold out!

Check him out all geared up... fricking awesome 😎

Imagine how many people will start following him just because they want to ask questions about what HIVE is all about! 😅 - you are definitely going to run faster mate!

# Relaxing times

Summer is arriving strong and soon™ there will be relaxing moments to reflect about, regain energy (hopefully), and prepare for another crazier year.

# AteXoras 🍺 Pub (@atexoras.pub)
This was a project that I could not even think of having the time for... less even having the people participating and enjoying it. Not long ago, this came along the lines on trying to make it simpler to understand for others coming:

> The Pub (@atexoras.pub) opens every Friday between 6 and 9 UTC (not strictly) and during the 7 days, aka "Gathering", this will be a place where you can find free beverages, food, other tokens from visitors, or even share your thoughts/posts/fights/initiatives, as well discussing interesting topics and meet new people. Can't make it on the first days... no worries, that's why it is open for 7 days.

> In addition to the usual stuff, the Pub also gives away one NFT on every gathering, drawn between all visitors of that Gathering, at the end of it, before the new one opens.

> There is also another giveaway running for already a couple of months, the [End-of-the-year 2021 SPS Giveaway!](https://ecency.com/hive-130409/@forykw/end-of-year-2021-sps) where an interesting amount of SPS will be given away to a lucky winner at, obviously, the end of the year. All you need to do to become eligible for the draw is to share a link from at least one splinterlands battle with your account (must have a Spell Book purchased).

> This is an initiative with a focus on onboarding and helping others, constantly adapting and shaping itself, given the possibilities. The long-term goal is to distribute a self-sustainable and decentralized way of running it. Check the [Live Scratch Paper](https://peakd.com/atexoras/@atexoras.pub/atexoras-pub-live-scratch-paper) for any other relevant up-to-date information about this project.

These are just an example of the latest gatherings' NFT giveaways...
