Hey Bill,

Love your work!

In these Big Optimism anniversary posts, can you please include the year of the events?

Really helps putting it into context. 🌞

Thanks for the feedback. I do mention it in the context but maybe I should pull it out and make it more prominent — good advice!

Where's that little guy standing on his theater seat clapping like crazy? That's the Emoji I want for this story! Tears in my eyes and a warm feeling in my heart thank you so much for posting this!

It’s nice to be reading about regular people doing big things in service of others. It’s getting tiring reading about high profile people doing big things but only for themselves or, even worse, doing big things that will have negative impacts on humans and the planet.

I remember the Atacama mine rescue and how so many were positively impacted by the hard work of everyone but especially the US company that made it all possible.

i often stop and think how many things we take for granted these days, like subways and instant communications.

I don't know how people can work in mines. Or explore caves. But that is me, I guess if it's the only option available, you do it.

I remember when this happened but knew nothing about the drill company behind it all. Wow!! What amazing creativity!!
