Knowing how to ‘be prepared’ in the wild transfers to long distance travel.

dad

The Los Angeles airport connection was my biggest concern. Prepared the best i knew how.

Turns out it was the easiest part of the trip so far.

And so far, as i write this, we’ve been traveling for 24 hours since leaving our house. We left four hours before flight time to manage any unknowns for International travel.

We are 90 minutes from a Sydney landing.

Then a short layover.

Then a couple hour flight to Brisbane.

Then get our five suitcases and head to Rental Car counter.

Then an hour drive North.

Finally, check in at our short-term apartment rental.

These final small segments should be easy.

And i am reminded when in the wild, never let your guard down.

Ps. Will be driving on the other side of the road for the first time ever.

Here’s what i know, physically

Rain spotted tshirt
Yesterday’s early evening two-hour walk. Ten minutes from home and rain began. My first post eye-surgery jog.

i know i’m the only one who can do my reps; movement, rest, fuel.

dad

What i know physically is from what i’ve read, what i’ve lived, and what i’ve observed.

i’ve drawn my conclusions, based on my actions, experiences, and observations.

The physical conclusions are then applied to life moving forward.

Launch, learn, revise.

Repeat.

Misunderstanding blessings

Your body is the temple housing everything keeping you alive.

dad

Life deals everyone at least one hell, physically, that no one will ever know about.

For many, one physical hell is just the beginning.

Despite my hells, i choose to press forward with what i can control.

Being (literally) obsessively over-focused on my (your) temple is often misunderstood, thought to be indulgent, and/or impossible to sustain.

The choice on worrying or not worrying about being misunderstood is in my (your) control.

A (physical) toast

Apple Music replay 2023
In 2023 there were five songs i listened to over 400 times.
Apple Music replay 2023
Safe to say Buffett is our home’s “house music”. This was well before Jimmy died.
Apple Music replay 2023
Buffett songs held the top 15 places. But there are 40 Buffett albums in my downloaded music.

A toast to aging well, aiming for perfection and settling for excellence. Here’s to our physical blessings, our wrinkles, and tomorrow’s hike.

dad

Find a million ways to stay motivated.

Physical medicine

It’s nice to have eye doctor’s blessing to get off the couch-potato mode and start walking, even running he said.

Movement is medicine. Rest is medicine. Nutrition is medicine.
