Simple is good.

What happens when you have time and money but not health?

dad

Time is wealth.

So is health…

Health is wealth.

Who wouldn’t want both?

But if you could manage only one, which one?

Time wealth?

Health wealth?

Knowing today’s weather will be cloudy and rainy, we cancelled (in advance) our plans to leave the apartment at 4:40 AM to walk to the beach for sunrise.

We also include one weather day for every seven days.

Meaning, plan for a day where you can’t do anything outside.

The Universe lined up a second time just before we left the apartment.

Context, prior to this moment, we thought the other three roommates were away on holiday.

Semester one (the Australian version of Spring semester) doesn’t begin until February 26 – a month from now.

We heard the apartment door open and a voice.

Chapin’s ‘next door’ neighbor returned from his job. He starts work at 5:00 AM in an “Age-Care” facility (assuming nursing home).

Aksh is a nurse, going on four years now.

Aksh is from Mauritius, an island country 1,100 nautical miles off the southeastern coast of East Africa, east of Madagascar. It includes the main island (also called Mauritius), as well as RodriguesAgaléga, and St. Brandon.

Moon rise
Two nights in a row. Finally figured out the iPhone setting to get the Moon’s detail.

A good tired is good.

A good tired is better than tired.
