With this year drawing to a close, let me take this opportunity and extend to all my best regards in this season. As today is Christmas Day, I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Looking through the rear window of this past year, I would probably say that 2024 was bumpy, full of ups and downs, each teaching me a lesson, giving me enough memories to last a lifetime.
It was a good year but presented its fair of challenges to me perosnally, I felt the weight of different pressures, that of balancing between work and responsibilities at home, which would overwhelm me at times. There were times when i I wondered how it would be possible to meet all deadlines but i was able to but I learned about the importance of directing your attention toward what is truly important and fiinding peace by letting go of what is not.
But amidst challenges, blessings abounded in 2024, too. I reached both big and small goals set forth for myself, and it was quite motivating when friends were sharing with me their successes. Their success stories pushed me further, especially when I could see the tangible results of what we were jointly working on. Of all my activities this year, what is still outstanding in my mind is the success with the water projects that were made possible by the funding from Hive.
We have managed to change something in people's lives, and every day I am proud of that. People smiling at the sight of clean water for the first time in their lives-that is an experience that I will not forget, and that really sealed in my mind the importance of working together in seeing change.On a personal note, being reunited with my kids again after so two years of staying apart, was one thing that motivated and reminded me of the deep love and affection family does bring. The addition of a new member, which was the birth of my niece, has also been a great instance.
For all these, I am grateful, happy and thankful to God. And moving into 2025, I look on with anticipation, hoping that the New Year is going to be much more successful and blessed than the outgoing year, both in personal and professional matters. And to my many friends on the Hive blockchain, my great friends worldwide, I don't think I know how to thank you for all these relations and unending contributions that have made this year quite unforgettable. Herewith comes a New Year that is peaceful, happy, and successful in all spheres of life. Let the year 2025 bring times of growth, accomplishment, and new starts. Let's progress with more hope and renewed firmness.
