So magnificent.

Super cool to awake in our own bed yesterday.

The more places you see, the more similarities between humans you see.

And, the more places you see, the more differences between humans you see.

Here’s the insight (wisdom) i’ve gained…

i’ve learned our similarities, which appear to me as universal, are foundationally important.

i’ve also learned our differences are overwhelmingly unimportant.

Waking up in your own bed, mind

Car radio screen
Rental car dashboard screen, upper right corner, 5:29am.

Tomorrow morning we wake up in our own bed for the first time in three weeks.

If you’ve not done this in a while, three consecutive weeks is a long time to wake up and use a hotel bathroom.

It’s a long time to be waking up without the normal, daily, home-court advantages you enjoy.

You don’t miss your home advantages nearly as much as when you’ve only been away on a three-day weekend trip or a one-week cruise.

There’s a tipping point in travel time that gifts you with life insights you’d never contemplate otherwise.

Counting so many blessings as we return to ‘normal home-court’ living.

Flying home from Australia

No place like home.

Sage wisdom

Writing this from our final morning in Alex Head, Australia.

In an hour, we drive our rental car south to Brizzy to catch our flight to San Francisco. (and then from SFO to MCO)

We are leaving five hours before our flight to accommodate all logistics as well as an ample buffer for the unforeseen.

Note: Intentionally no photos nor videos today.

Final 24 hours in Australia, mind

Ocean dawn
Sunrise hasn’t begun yet, but surfing has.
48-second video: After three weeks, it’s tempting to see this as ordinary. Why? Because we never have to work for the vantage point. Pre-sunrise activity is bustling.
36-second video: Typical low-level cloud horizon.
27-second video: Once the Sun scales the clouds, the light is blinding.

Reflecting on the past three weeks and the next 24 hours, this is a dominating mental thought….

Kindness is a strength.

To be a strong thinker is to be a kind thinker.

Never gets old

greeting card
Yep, we made a few visits to say thank you.

The things we take for granted, and rarely or never do, are the very things that surprise and delight others.
