Outside looking in. We were exhausted last night. Tomorrow’s posts will start with our first Australian sunrise two hours ago at 5:15AM.

Living with lean, prioritized priorities is art.

Day One, yesterday was a success.

A ‘good tired’.

And by tired, we mean at the end of the day, with all of adventure’s adrenaline gone, exhausted.

An honest, rarely felt, comprehensive exhaustion.

Time warp.

First time ever.

We left on a Friday (Jan 19) and arrived on Sunday (Jan 21).

But our air time is 24 hours.

Note: The reverse will happen when we go back in time on the trip home. We depart and arrive on the same day. With the same 24 hours air time.

Here’s what i know, at home

We are tagging along for a college drop off.

i know i’m the only one in charge of my life. Hard stop.

dad

What i know at home 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 conclusions about prioritized priorities are then applied to life moving forward.

Launch, learn, revise.

Repeat.
