Australia Day 8, mind

Sidewalk with a caterpillar Trail
Easily dismissed as you walk with anticipation to the South Pacific Beach. You are (almost) hypnotically drawn to the surf’s constant roar. Who’s got time to squat down and investigate?

After multiple encounters at this exact spot, we finally, officially met ‘Archie’.

Today is a great day for a great day.

Australia Day 7, mind

South Pacific beach sand dune will have to suffice for this morning’s office.

We are constantly solving for small, medium, and large challenges. Challenges we see coming, and challenges we never see coming.

Australia Day 6, mind

Dawn from a condo balcony
We awaken at 5:00 AM and see this. About 15 minutes later, this…
Sunrise
Never gets old.
Colorful toy store Building
Toys never get old either. This place reminds us of Al’s Toy Barn in Toy Story.

We are getting into a groove, slowly but surely.

Grateful we have three weeks in Australia.

We’d likely stay longer if it wasn’t for an upcoming Orlando keynote.

From campus to The Card House, 17 minutes.

Most people say they have integrity. Most also say few others do.

Australia Day 4, mind

Couple at beach
Yesterday’s morning walk to the South Pacific Ocean. Cheryl’s first visit. Mine was previous night.
This morning’s “sunrise” at 5:15 AM. Sitting on the balcony in the morning quiet, we could hear the constant low roar of the South Pacific waves crashing on the beach 1.5 miles due East.

Waking up is a miraculous gift. For one day it won’t happen.

The above quote is not a morbid declaration. It is a glorious reminder that the aspects of life’s most important things are invisible due to their simplicity and familiarity.

Nothing invisible from our Australian apartment balcony. Ever.
