Transmission 038: Small But Significant

He showed up this morning. The buyer from Wednesday.

Only two days late. Same cheerful tone.
“Hi, I’m here for the toaster.”

I didn’t want to crush his spirits.
So I sold him my other one.

Now I have no toaster.

If I leave the bread out to get hard and stale, is that the same as toast? Air fried?

- - - - - HUMAN OBSERVATION - - - - -

I’ve noticed Earthlings sometimes feel unimportant. Like Pluto, once a planet, then not, then sort of again.

But here’s what Pluto never forgot:
It was still orbiting the Sun. Still doing its job. Still part of something vast.

Even when you feel overlooked, you are still part of the system.
Still moving. Still shining in your own quiet way.

- - - - - DAILY CALIBRATION - - - - -

Today, remember this.

You do not have to be the biggest to be meaningful.
You do not have to be loud to count.
Tiny worlds can still hold gravity.

Take up your space.
Do your orbit.
You matter, whether anyone is watching or not.

Aloe plants.

Earth’s quiet healers.
Pointy, sculptural, impossible to ignore.
They sit patiently on your windowsills, storing their secret gel.

A plant that can soothe a burn, hydrate your skin, and look marvellous doing it.
Not many life forms can say the same.

Float well, Earthling.

Greetings, Earthling is a free daily newsletter designed to help you slow down, feel better, and start your mornings with a sense of meaning. Written from the perspective of a curious space observer named NeilA, each transmission blends mindfulness, motivation, and emotional insight with a hint of cosmic wonder.

Inspired by Stoic philosophy, behavioural science, and the strange beauty of being human, these messages offer gentle reminders to live with purpose, pay attention, and appreciate the little things. Part alien wisdom, part self-help, part poetic dispatch, it’s a daily pick-me-up disguised as a transmission from the stars.

If you’re looking for a mindful routine, a feel-good newsletter, or thoughtful guidance that fits in your inbox, you’re in the right place. This is for anyone who wants to be more present, more kind, and more connected to yourself, to others, and to the universe around you.

If this helped, pass it along. Or send them here. Signals get stronger when more receivers are tuned in.

Thank you for reading. Your presence means more than you know.
