San Fran to Brizzy

International Airport welcome flag
Five months ago on our first return home from Down Under.

It’s a small world after all.

World Famous Disney song

By the time we land in Brisbane it will be Tuesday, June 11, 730 PM at home.

What’s fun to contemplate is that when we land in Brisbane, it’ll be June 12, 5:30 AM.

Note: Writing this a couple hours before we land. Technically, 5:30 PM June 11. So Today’s blogs are done. Will add a few pics from the Brizzy arrival before getting our rental car. Tomorrow’s blogs will pick up at the rental car counter.

Time will tell, at home

Every situation, properly perceived, is an opportunity.

Embrace priorities and their prioritized order that do not work out the way you thought they would.

Accept home-organization mistakes as gifts.

Remember this mantra:

Launch. Learn. Revise.

Repeat.

Until you die.

Soar with your strengths

split tail kite
While watering trees, got graced with this ‘show’.

The sky is one of my favorite streaming services.

dad

Son, remember, i was 40 years old when a random Disney work phone call transformed my life.

i’ve always had focus, discipline, and a wild imagination.

And for four decades, those strengths were applied to all my jobs.

But when your strengths combine with the right job – the job you were born for – magic happens.

Home mediocrity

Motel small bathroom and shower
Compared to our master bathroom at home this is tiny. Compared to a stream in the forest this is the Ritz Carlton.

It can wait until tomorrow.

Mediocrates

Home mediocrity flourishes if we never discover our purpose. Or, when we slowly get bored with our purpose and drift away, uncaringly.

What the world needs from humanity

Funny teacher
Halifax Airport gift shop, 7:30 AM,

You owe humanity decency.

dad

What the world needs from humanity is different from what the universe needs from humanity.

Why?

Because the Universe needs nothing from humans.

Nothing.

Zero.

Zip.

0.00

But the “world” needs something from humanity, and that is a sense of humor.
