Good Morning! #sunrise #pennsylvania #dji #drone
This photo captures a serene sunrise over a rolling, forested landscape. The sun is just above the horizon, casting a warm golden glow that blends into soft pinks, purples, and blues across the sky. Low clouds scatter the light, adding depth and drama to the scene. In the foreground, open green fields and a small rural property with a few buildings are nestled beside dense woodland. The forest stretches toward the horizon, where layers of misty hills fade into the distance. The overall mood is calm and tranquil, with a sense of untouched natural beauty.

Good Morning! #Pennsylvania #dji #drone #sunrise
The sun is just above the horizon, radiating a warm golden light that bathes the sky in shades of orange, pink, and soft yellow, gradually blending into the cool blue tones higher up. Wispy clouds are scattered across the sky, some catching the early light while others remain darker, adding depth and texture. In the foreground and midground, rolling forested hills dominate, their rich green foliage contrasting beautifully with the sky’s colors. Patches of open grassland and a winding road with a few scattered buildings give a hint of rural life nestled within the vast natural setting. The light mist in the distant valleys adds an ethereal touch, enhancing the sense of depth and calm. Overall, the image conveys a peaceful and timeless early-morning atmosphere, highlighting the beauty of nature at daybreak.

There are a lot of daily self-help or advice newsletters but I drop quickly most I've sampled. I have found @SahilBloom's daily Curiosity Chronicle humble, fun and genuinely useful! The thoughts on time today were spot on. You might enjoy it too www.sahilbloom.com/newsletter
Recognize time as the most valuable asset In a 2019 episode of The Tim Ferriss Show podcast, investor Graham Duncan coined the term time billionaire to refer to someone with over one billion seconds remaining in their life: "We’re so obsessed, as a culture, with money. And we deify dollar billionaires in a way...And I was thinking of time billionaires that when I see twenty-year-olds—the thought I had was they probably have two billion seconds left. But they aren’t relating to themselves as time billionaires." When you’re young, you’re a time billionaire—literally rich with time. At age twenty, you probably have about two billion seconds left (assuming you live to eighty). By fifty, just one billion seconds remain. But are you truly appreciating the value of this asset? In his On the Shortness of Life, Seneca wrote, "We are not given a short life but we make it short, and we are not ill-supplied but wasteful of it." You may know how important your time is, yet you ignore its passage and engage in low-value activities that pull you away from the things that really matter. My first intention is to change that: Recognize time as the most valuable asset (and act accordingly). Special Note: This is an excerpt derived from the time wealth section of my book, The 5 Types of Wealth. It explores this topic in depth and provides the actionable tools to build time wealth in your life.

In #macOSSequoia @Apple it would be a great #UX improvement if at the bottom of Photos app People & Pets there was an option to Review Photos for ALL People & Pets instead of having to into each one then scroll to the bottom to Review More Photos #cx
