So Mark, say something smark

There are some advantages to having a brain,

And sometime the brain can get too stirred up:

Like a mini tornado

And who wants that!

What I learned about myself today?

My old wisdom is there for me when I need it.

If I could imagine one thing that all humans on the earth could definitely agree upon is this one thing:

That we do not want to fail each other and the planet itself.

And I would have to say amen to that.

And believe that somehow we human can do these things and even do them fantastically well.

No matter how bad things have been there is no choice for me but to go beyond myself and reach out and help where I can and remain positive even when my mind wants to bug me with other thoughts that dim my light.  I see it all as one big adventure where we are all in this together.

9 years of upliftingthoughts.org around NOW.

Never gave up.

Saved lives


That is something that keeps the site going.

I knew the gratitude in the first few months

A few confessions emailed me and moving stuff

I knew right away I was on to something.

Be careful what you dream about; it may come about:

But life is an experience

Each day it's own

Hugs and smiles

Then all is fine

The future knows.

Will this effect the Chimera Empire? The "Chimera Empire" does not exist as a real-world nation, political entity, or sovereign state, so it will not be affected by current U.S. or Russian foreign policy. Because "Chimera" is a common name across popular culture, science fiction, and military hardware, you might be thinking of one of the following fictional or niche references: 🪐 Star Wars (The Chimaera / The Galactic Empire) If you are referring to the Galactic Empire, Grand Admiral Thrawn's famous flagship is a heavily modified Imperial Star Destroyer named the Chimaera. While the real-world political drama in Washington and Moscow might feel like galactic chess, it has no impact on the Star Wars universe, George Lucas's lore, or upcoming releases from Disney. 🛡️ Warhammer 40,000 (The Imperium of Man) If you are mixing up terms from tabletop gaming, the Chimera is the ubiquitous armored troop carrier used by the Astra Militarum (Imperial Guard) to transport human infantry across warzones. Rest assured, the tech-priests of the Imperium are insulated from Earth's 2026 political maneuvers. 🇺🇦 Ukraine's "Chimera" Drone Unit On a realistic note, there is an active Ukrainian frontline military drone detachment named the "Chimera" unit (part of the 105th Border Guard Detachment). Since Trump's executive order directly impacts the flow of war funding, sanctions, and geopolitical leverage between the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia, real-world military units operating on the Ukrainian front lines will absolutely feel the logistical and strategic ripples of these policy shifts. Did you mean a specific sci-fi franchise, a video game empire, or were you tracking the real-world military drone unit in Ukraine?
