Hardship is a beautiful thing. The cleansing light of destruction #shines on the details never before noticed. You'll never know which one of your #friends will fight until the battle comes. You'll never know who will never give up until #victory seems impossible. Until the #ship is sinking, you can never know who will spend their #last moments helping you patch the holes. You don't learn much in #peace. Peace is for you to enjoy everything you learned in the #war. War is the father of innovation. Systems break under increased pressure. Repairs must be made and entire #divisions refurbished or removed entirely. There is as much or more #beauty in the dark, Then there ever is in the #light. Because there is no light at all without the #dark. You learn, #grow and become stronger through hardship. Not #ease. Be happy you're going through #hardship. It's the #magic ingredient.

"Home Fortification: Making Your Sanctuary a Fortress"   "Picture your home, your sanctuary, suddenly becoming the frontline in an emergency situation. Home fortification isn't about turning your residence into a military base; it's about making it a fortress of safety and resilience.   While it's comforting to think that walls and locks offer enough protection, the reality is that true fortification goes beyond physical barriers. Ignoring this aspect is like owning a car but neglecting to insure it; you're vulnerable to unforeseen calamities. #HomeFortification #WindowReinforcements #DoorSecurity #Surveillance #SafeRoom #HomeSafety #DanielKilburn

Captain's Log 15 June '24 Video Update: Finally...a heatwave for the Northeast where 90F days year-to-date are -32% vs last year and the least in 5 years...we'll get a boost this week with a 6-day heat wave of low to middle 90s (a chance for a day near 100F). We know Texas...a cool day by your standards. Speaking of Texas, need to watch for the 1st tropical storm of the season with 5" rainfall totals the biggest impact this week. After a soft May due to wet weather, June should be a blip of good news for retail seasonal sales. Have a great Father's Day! - Captain Kirk out. #retailanalytics #supplychainriskmanagement #categorymanager #AI #hurricaneseason #severeweather #weather #wt360 #financialservices #fathersday #retailsales
