Same day, different hemisphere, body

Sydney Australia cityscapes
Able to snap only two photos from middle seat over the wing. This one. And the next one…
Sydney Opera House
Unmistakable. One lucky photo.

Always remember your roots. Always remember your humble beginnings.

Having time and money to travel has always been possible for me.

Take 1982, $75 cash, a touring bicycle, no tent, a small backpack cookstove, peddling from Philadelphia to Orlando. Also a three week trip.

Take 1980, Greyhound bus from York, PA to Moscow, ID. Carried my backpack and my Dad’s Army duffle bag. A one week bus ride. So many small town stops. That’s why it took so long.

Fly home from Australia, body

Three kangaroos
Not a zoo. Yesterday. At breakfast.
Australian highway sign
Steve Irwin as in “THE” Steve Irwin.
22-second video: First Kangaroo we’ve seen in the wild.

Saying see you later is better than saying goodbye.

The gift of shared space on this planet is taken for granted until a reminder is placed in front of your face.

Australia Day 22, body

Snow dusted mountain
East tunnel.

i want and need physical vibrancy as much as my next breath.

Not until you are fed up with your physical history and your physical present will you be ready to burn the ships and move forward physically, never looking back.

Australia Day 21, body

Apple Watch from apartment
Netted six miles by 7:00am. Photo from our apartment.
13-second video: The sun (in this 5:36 AM video) did it’s best to make an appearance.

i’ve always been a morning person. When i was younger i used to stay up for it. Now, i wake up for it.

dad

Long ago i finally accepted that planning to workout after work didn’t work.

It was far too easy to find a ‘good reason’ to wait until tomorrow.

Australia Day 20, body

Apple Watch fitness screen
Only four miles. But a great (beginner) ‘no-gym’ workout routine. Netted 90 pushups.
beach and dark clouds
South Pacific looking ‘stormy’. Jogged (slowly) roughly 400-600 meters in the rain to stay warm.

Be an artist in your own body.

Aging should bestow wisdom.

But only if you over-focus on aging.

Over-focusing on physical aging means you are intentional where others are less intention, or completely ignorant, on pursuing physical vibrancy.

Physically, we reap what we sow.
