June 1, 2026, spirit

Happy June 1, 2026.

While the Summer Solstice is three weeks away (June 21, 4:54am), Since childhood, i’ve always celebrated Summer’s arrival on June 1st.

Why?

Summer is my favorite season because i love warmth.

Love to sweat.

Love to not have to wear a shirt to stay warm. In fact, the opposite, remove your t-shirt to stay cooler. Or jump in a pond, creek, or lake.

Praying for Earth, spirit

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 (4:20pm April 7, 2026) we are three hours and 40 minutes from our President’s Iranian-peace-deal deadline.

Praying without ceasing.

Every breath is prayer.

Always.

And especially now.

Still cleaning up and hoping, spirit

Still cleaning up and hoping nothing died.

Today’s thread is driven by ‘every’ Florida homeowner’s landscaping challenges and opportunities.

And in the hoping, freedom and peace.

Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.

It’s a lot of effort to do the impossible, but it’s also fun.

Teach hope, spirit

We often stay for extended periods less than a mile from here. This photo was taken shortly after sunrise.

Teach hope spiritually…

“Hope for what?”, you may ask.

Hope for peace and contentment.

Teach hope simply by exuding hopefulness.

Is there a catch to this?

Yes.

What then?

You must exude this – demonstrate this – for a lifetime. Nothing less.

Reflecting on 2025:

1. What are you most happy about completing?

2. What was the smartest decision you made?

3. What one word best sums up your 2025 experience?

4. What was the greatest lesson you learned?

5. What is your biggest piece of unfinished business?

6. Who were three people that had the greatest impact on you? (Have you thanked them?)

7. What was the biggest risk you took?

8. What did you shed to improve your life?
