You know what?, home

You know what?

As much as you love things and don’t love other things, the Universe could care less.

Truth, we are gonna die.

Dust to dust.

Note to self: Be ever mindful of humanity’s wisdom over the past 6,000 years. Not eons. Less than 10,000 years. Out of 4,500,000,000 years That’s 4.5 billion by the way.

To be well over a mile (almost two in some cases) high and stand on stromatolites…

Words are incapable of describing the science behind it all.

But one thing for sure, there is no faith or hope that they once existed and how they gave birth to the oxygen we take for granted with every breath, for an entire lifetime.

Health dissatisfaction, home

apple sitting on a desk — Healthy eating is invisible to all but you. Become your own category.

Is there a difference between never being satisfied and being at peace for wanting to push boundaries?

Nope.

Be amazed at your blessings and opportunities. And be amazing at your desire and action to seize those blessings and opportunities.

Beautiful view, home

child with butterfly net in wildflower meadow — A beautiful view. Pure joy. At home.

14-second video: 3rd attempt at his own world record. Ps. He already won the 2026 world championship, again.

Everyone in the world loves a beautiful view.

If there’s a person in our world that doesn’t, i’d love to ask them why.

Yesterday i “viewed” these everyday things:

A morning tradition, kissing my wife upon waking. She is so beautiful.
A two-hour local walk from our home and back.
An emotional phone call, while walking, with a college friend who just buried her husband – a fraternity brother and fellow college track team teammate.
A (second breakfast, per usual) nutritious refueling after six miles walking and 30 minutes of my no-gym gym workout.
A dive into our pool before the 2nd breakfast.
Some time doing the ‘paperwork of life’.
Three hours watching Day 1 of the Track & Field World Championships from Budapest. And watching Mondo Duplantis attempting another in a long line of world record attempts.
Writing five daily blogs, also per usual.
Enjoying one of my wife’s always amazing meals with our son.
Catching the latest episode of Ted Lasso season 4.
Hitting the pillow before bedtime to ensure 8 hours sleep.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

To each their own. Live and let live.

Never forget 9/11, home

post it note with quote about risk — Yep. Great gains, as 9/11 showed the world, are in the eye of the beholders. The risk to cunningly kill thousands of innocent people was enough of a perceived gain for the masterminds to do it.

When, if ever, does extremism cross a line?
