A close-up view of the base of a large tree trunk with deeply textured, rough bark. The ground surrounding the tree is wet and muddy, with visible standing water and small puddles. Grass and small plants grow sporadically near the trunk. In the background, a neatly trimmed hedge and a portion of a house with a tiled roof are visible. The second image is a slightly different angle of the same tree trunk, showing similar details with more emphasis on the bark’s texture and the wet ground conditions.

His guiding principles—focus on what you can do, surround yourself with positive people, and keep moving forward—are words to live by, especially in tough times.

You might remember Sam Berns and his TEDx talk, "My Philosophy for a Happy Life." Sam was more than just an inspiration for my family—he was a friend. His wisdom, resilience, and positivity continue to shape how we see the world.

My philosophy for a happy life

Born with a rare genetic disorder called progeria, Sam Berns knew he'd be facing more obstacles in life than most. This didn't stop him from taking charge of his own happiness. In this moving and insp...

1st official flash - didn’t use a flash but should’ve. Spent the evening celebrating the power of thinking differently with Dr. Temple Grandin.
Challenging the way things are and pushing limits. A reminder that there’s no single way to see the world. #ThinkingDifferently #TempleGrandin #anopendoor

I did. I worried too. On the 🍎 forums it basically says it’s a coin toss as to whether it will recreate the issue. Buuut I did use the iCloud backup & it was fine once I reset. Maybe try the option to reset but not delete 1st. Logging in & out of iCloud. I know I’m basically saying turn it on & off🤣
