You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.   Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

I hope you enjoy the artwork as much as I have. If you have a TV that displays art (Samsung, Hisense, LG, TLC, etc.), check this out: Sharing a resource I have found pretty cool. I am not involved with or associated with this artist ( 2dollarartworks.beehiiv.com/ ), but I have enjoyed the free artwork he created – so much so that I bought his entire collection! I am not creative, and having a resource like this has been a great way to have very nice artwork on my TV. I have not received any compensation or discounts. I am simply sharing a resource that I thought others would enjoy. I found his site and collection through his free weekly art, no strings attached. After several weeks of receiving high-quality artwork, I decided to visit his Etsy site to purchase the collection, but I never got a hard sell. I hope you enjoy the artwork as much as I have.

I just listened to Episode Three of "Raising Families", and it is GREAT! Dr. Jerry is really hitting the mark with his new and popular podcast. They are easy-to-listen-to, quick episodes that provide powerful tools. I recommend starting with Episode One - it's foundational! Find them all at: RaisingFamiliesPodcast.com

I haven’t laughed this hard at a Substack story in a long time (probably since the last post from @masterfulbob!). It’s a brilliant look at a long-married couple who finally find a shared hobby. It’s witty, observational, and the perfect "must-read" for anyone who’s ever been on a vacation (or just likes a good scheme). open.substack.com/pub/bobsmi…

Took a handful of my grandkids to see the @TheSavBananas at Angel Stadium. What a night. Baseball, yes—but also nonstop laughs, dancing, and memories I know they’ll hang onto. Proof that when you focus on joy and experience, everyone wins. 🍌⚾ Thank you @YellowTuxJesse

Great movie (The Mule), Great song (Toby Keith), Great actor (Clint Eastwood) — incredible reminder! Don’t Let The Old Man In! Some of my favorite lines from the song: Get up and go outside Ask yourself how would you be If you didn't know the day you were born Try to love on your wife And stay close to your friends Toast each sundown with wine

Happy New Year! 🎉 Perfect tip from @JamesClear to start 2026: "New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results."
