Artemis II is returning to Earth after sending humans farther from Earth than ever before in history.
Artemis II traveled around the Moon and lost contact (it was planned for) with NASA for a brief period.
Extraordinary accomplishment in human history.
And as i type this (4:10pm April 7, 2026) we are three hours and 50 minutes from our President’s Iranian-peace-deal deadline.
Praying for a world-wide growth mindset.
A closed mindset is pessimistic.
Growth mindset is optimistic.
We desperately need optimism.

Countdowns.
Fun, usually.
Exciting, usually.
This is a good countdown.
A later-life celebration.
A retiree celebration.
An international celebration.
In two weeks we travel for two weeks.
Paris, France.
Mentally, it’s surreal.
Wonderful.
May our world find peace, hope, and common ground as we take another one-year trip around the Sun until Easter 2027.

We did “Food For Families” every Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. For many years. A family tradition since before our son was born. We don’t do it anymore. Management and leadership changed and we fell away from it due to our ability to feel good about serving under the new structure and processes.
Mentally, i think every single day is Easter.
You can’t fathom this mentality unless you’re actually embracing it yourself.
Oncer you make Easter a daily habit, you are basking in the glory that HE is Risen.

Purge: To rid, clear, or free.
Mentally.
Going through a lifetime of Disney paperwork, still.
Have done it many times, over my life.
First, when transferring from one Disney work location to another. When you pack for your move, you have an opportunity to purge stuff you haven’t looked at for some time. Or, you simply pack it and keep the stuff at your new location.
There’s an ebb and flow to this process.
i have found collecting and purging have similar qualities.
Collecting feels like building.
Purging feels like downsizing.
Both feel mentally empowering.
