Stunningly beautiful and shockingly harsh

Sunrise near Disney World
Yesterday about two miles into a 10 mile run.

 

Residential construction near Disney World
Yesterday about eight miles into a 10 mile run.

 

Yesterday, after spending the typical first two hours of the day before sunrise in writing, reading, and reflection mode, i then proceeded to begin the three-times-a-week run. Yesterday i chose Disney’s Contemporary Resort as the turnaround (midway) point.

The sunrise was glorious as seen in the first photo. As you navigate through the other four blogs, you’ll see and hear how this ordinary day was both beautiful and harsh.

The second photo hints at how long i was out and about for the morning run.

The two things our youthful dreams never prepared us for

Will be lucky to see anything but the airport and the hotel

 

The two things our youthful dreams never prepared us for:

  1. That life doesn’t cease being hard, even though we master many things
  2. The realization that wakeup calls are neither myth, nor avoidable

The best we can do moving forward is be realistic about what to expect.

Traveling around the world for a living, plan on seeing the airport and the hotel.

Anything else, no matter how many days you stay, is a bonus.
