A Few Pictorial Lasts and Firsts PLUS Happy New Year 2019 to All STEEM, Steemit and Steemmonster, Earth and Life Beyond Earth Family!!!! - ULOG #45

After winning a few cards via @thedarkhorse's Paying It Forward Contest (@pifc), being enticed by @cicisaja in one of @abh12345's Curation and Engagement League Sunday morning posts and quickly assisted by @davemccoy in that same comment thread, then via his TeamPossible discord channel and loaned account, on or around Tuesday, October 30, 2018, I played my very first Steemmonster battle.

That was after I dropped all inhibitions and chose sweet, unadulterated, clean, playful, gift-that-keeps-giving Steemmonsters fun. At last.

Welcome to my Steemmonsters world.

First manual redeem rewards for 2019

Hi everyone,

AND Happy New Year 2019 to All STEEM, Steemit and Steemmonster, Earth and Life Beyond Earth Family!!!!

I wrote that in the heading early on New Year's Day and we're already in the second week of January 2019! Amazing!

So I thought I'd share a few firsts and lasts of the transition from 2018 in to 2019 with you via screengrabs.....

First song I chose to listen to after waking up this first morning of January 1, 2019:

Then I set it up to loop in Deezer so I had it playing in the background most of the day:

Yes, Louis. What a wonderful world we've got here.

Here's to each of us having fun making 2019 even more wonderful in our own unique way.

January 1, 2019 daily Steemmonster top battle study

By 9:50am on New Year's Day, I'd studied another first few Steemmonster battles from the Top Battles tab.

The one that made me look over my Fire team and visit Peakmonsters to see how much it would be to upgrade three cards was this battle that you can view here:

First Steemmonster cards to max in 2019, apart from Summoners

I don't think I have even one maxed card yet!!!

If I had US$500-1k to invest free and clear right now in Steemmonsters only, these are a few of the cards I'd buy first:

FIRST, I'd max my beautiful, feisty Cocatrice:

Second, my FAV Death monster, Haunted Spirit....

Then my lovely but deadly Serpent of the Fire, along with Fire Demon.....

And of course, I'll be maxing my Elemental Phoenix.

She was the very first splinter legendary I bought early on. I need 10 more of her but not now. I'm hoping her price will go back down a bit, then I'll grab her.

There are wayyyy too many to list and show, but those would definitely be among the first fav monster upgrades I'd invest in, in between or after maxing my basic traditional Summoners.

MOST Important graphic in 2018 and 2019, Steemmonster-wise

Of course, because I'm always plotting and squeezing every fiat and crypto dollar, this is the first pic I open when I reboot that stays open until the next reboot:

First book I continued reading from 2018 to 2019

The exact page I re-read first:

The kindle edition is available here:

Ok, so that's just a little share of some of what ended 2018 and began the first day of 2019 for me.

Cheers to you and your family and your loved ones for this new first month of this brand new and exciting 2019.

I wish you every good thing and every richest Blessing as you create your very best year everrrrrrr.

Until next time....

Enjoy and squeeze out every drop of enjoyment in all the remaining moments of this week, then the next, next and next....

Pretty soon, we'll be looking back at the transition we made between 2019 and 2020!!!

PPS I'm still practicing my 'not-limiting-to-30 Days' personal Ho'oponopono healing forgiveness and gratitude challenge. I just use the simple 4-line exercise on anything that triggers, saddens, upsets or calls to me for attention during my days, including horrible news and world events.

Here's the four line exercise:

“I’m sorry.
Please forgive me.
I love you.
Thank you.”
