What mental pain

pool patio
There’s pain in risky choices. Both being from Pennsylvania, could we actually pull off making a life in Florida? So far away from family. No “traditional” change of seasons. The pain from uncertainty became worth it for us in this case.

What mental pain do you want in your life?

i’ll gladly take the pain of having a mind that rarely rests because it is continuously thinking about better ways to do everything.

What pain do you want to avoid?

i want to avoid the pain that stems from a lack of consistent thoughts about the best ways to do things. And the regret that comes from doing things in a subpar way.

Change what you see, mind

You know the drill…

When you change what you see, what you see changes.

Change your thoughts, change what you see.

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.

Is it on the test?

Instagram quote
Our time on this spinning pebble.

There’s a lot humans can worry about. There’s a lot that doesn’t matter.

Is it on the test?

Who’s to know?

Easy for anyone to ask about what’s on a test. Otherwise, how would one prepare?

What do you think about a topic like this?

Why do you think about it that way?

Bonus: What matters and what doesn’t matter almost always look the same.

Mental workarounds

Olympic trials schedule
Figured out how to watch this in Australia. Ridiculously simple solution.

Solutions are predominantly simple, yet elusive because of their simplicity.

dad

As a last resort yesterday, i wondered if reverting back to ATT would allow me to view American cable networks.

What i was up against was that nothing that worked in USA was working in Australia.

As soon as i muted Telstra (Australia’s main cellular provider), and switched back to ‘normal’ (ATT), Peacock Network instantly became functional.

ATT costs $10 per day for the International Plan. i was trying to avoid it. And as such, never even tried.

For eight more nights in Australia at $10 per day, it’s like getting USA Olympic trials for $80 total. In hindsight, a complete bargain versus not being able to watch.
